Basic Printer Commands in Windows

Comment:

Hi there: I have an older but excellent working Basic Program compiled with QBasic that works perfect in DOS & Windows. However printing forms where the letters are supposed to be printed compressed (Chr$(15))or expanded as Chr$27 is not possible with the newer Laser or InkJet Printers. Does anybody has or knows of a conversion program that would allow to print those forms, compressed or expanded, on the new Printers in DOS mode? Thanks for your help - Please reply to my e-mail: derpunkt@cable.net.co Heinz

Oops! From the title I assumed you wanted just the basic DOS Print commands, not the DOS print commands for QBasic. Sorry about that.
