sO DOES THIS MEAN THAT YOU ARE GOING TO NEED TO IMPLEMENT YOUR OWN? On 11/08/11 21:28, John J. Boyer wrote:
Scott, This is a SWT issue. The problem is that the SWT classes require a grraphical representation of what is to be printed. That doesn't go well with the generic embosser way, which requires sending a simple text file. John On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 11:31:58AM +0200, Scott Berry wrote:John, Let's see if I have this right? Are you wanting to find the driver itself or just learn how to set it up I am a bit confused. Sorry for that. On 11/08/11 17:36, John J.

However, the user must create a Graphics Context (GC) and then draw on ikt whatever is to be printed. Tis is overkill for a generic embosser driver and would probably cause difficulties anyway. All that is needed is to send a text file to the embosser using the generic printer selection on Windows and the equivalent onother platforms. If the file has the proper number of characters per line and lines per page and a forms feed between pages most embossers will procuce perfectly good braille. It would be nice to let the user have the PrintDialog, since it works so nicely, but we need a way to just send straight text to the embosser. Where is the generic printer choice located. PrintDialog doesn't show it on my Windows machine. It would be nice to have the generic embosser driver available in the upcoming release. Suggestions will be very much appreciated.
