I think that I am satisfied with the options and features of DJPRINT, so
this should be one of the last releases before version 1.0. If you have
questions about the functions of DJPRINT, please let me know so that I can
use your questions to improve the limited documentation.
djprint version 0.55
DJPRINT was intended as a method to list source code on my HP DeskJet
632c. I decided that I would make it available to other OS/2 and eCS
users. I put a work-in-progress version on my web site and asked for
comments and suggestions.
I got a lot of suggestions and most of them were added as options to
DJPRINT. I also found out that the HP PCL 3 command set was supported by
many printers - not just HP printers. The ones that I know about are
shown below.
HP Deskjet 932C
Xerox Phaser 8550
HP LaserJet II
HP DeskJet 340
Brother HD 5150D
IBM 4019 laser printer
HP Laserjet 4050N
HP DeskJet 632C
The default printing mode of DJPRINT is to assume the paper is US letter
size (8.5 x 11), 6 lpi , and line numbering is turned on. The printer is
also put into compressed print, but this is not optional.
An important function of DJPRINT is line wrapping. Long lines are split
into multiple lines. Unless the line numbering is turned off, the same
line number is used for wrapped lines. If line number 10 needs to be
wrapped to fit on the page, all of the wrapped portions of line 10 will be
numbered 10. This is done so that the line numbers refelct the actual
source line number. A plus sign is inserted before each wrapped line to
make certain the user knows the line has been wrapped. The line wrap is
not intelligent. The line is wrapped at a specific character count - not
at the end of a word or blank space.
The header and compressed print are not optional, but many other functions
are under the users control. The printer may be put into portrait or
landscape mode, and the supported paper sizes are A4, letter (US standard
size and the default), and legal (8.5 x 14 inches). The user also has the
option of 6 or 8 lines per inch, with 6 lines per inch the default. The
user may set the starting source line number, the ending source line
number, and start the page numbering at number other than one. Setting
the starting page number does not change where the program starts printing
the source lines, it is only a cosmetic change.
Changes:
Version .055 added an option to put the printer in 12 cpi mode instead of
compressed print mode. That option is /NO.
version 0.51 changed the code to look in the current directory for
options.djp and if not found, in the directory where djprint.exe is
located.
Version 0.50 added an options file called OPTIONS.DJP which must be
present in the current directory. The options are listed on separate lines
in the file. The options file is proccessed before the command line, so
any command line options override the file options. The options in the
file must start at column 1 and must start with a forward slash. Lines
that start with any other characters are ignored.
Verson 0.35 added an intial page number setting.
The /Ixx option sets the intial page number to xx instead of 1. This
option along with the /Hxx and /Txx options will let the user replace
specific pages from a printed set. For example, if page 10 was damaged
and started with with line 571 and ended with 628, the options /I10 /H571
/T628 would print a replacement page 10.
Verson 0.33 added manual duplex printing!
The option swtich is /DU or /du
The output is first sent to the file testprn and then that file is split
into oddprn and evenprn. The file oddprn is sent to the printer, the user
is prompted to reload the paper and then the file evenprn is printed. If
the /F option is used, the final output goes to the file testprn2.
Version 0.31 changed the method used to display the usage and error
messages to the screen. The usage information and the file being printed
message may be redirected and the error messages now go to stderr.
A /D option for double spacing the source had been added.
A /Wx option for selecting the destination printer had been added where x
is 1,2, or 3. If you only have one printer or the OS/2 default printer is
the destination, you do not need this option.
This program is intended to print program listings on HP DeskJet or
LazerJet printers. It should work with any printer that supports PCL 3.
It sets the printer to print 16.5 characters per inch and sends a reset to
the printer when it is finished.
The program prints a header at the top of each page and defaults to
printing line numbers for each source line. The program does line wrap of
lines over 119 characters and can do multiple wraps if the source line is
very long. If the source line is wrapped, the line number is not
incremented. If line 10 is wrapped three times, there will be three lines
labeled 0010. The program also prints a "+" symbol before each wrapped
line.
Options:
DJPRINT (options) file1 ... file9 (options)...
where file1 ... file9 may contain wild cards
The /R option sends a reset to the printer before printing
The /F option causes the output to be sent to the file TESTPRN
The /Hxx option starts the printing with line xx
The /Txx option ends the printing with line xx
The /Ixx option sets the initial page number to xx
The /N option stops the printing of line numbers
The /NO option puts the printer in 12 cpi mode
The /S option puts the printer in 8 lpi mode - 77 lines per page
The /L option puts the printer in landscape mode - 155 char per line
The /D option adds an extra linefeed for double space mode
The /DU option prints the odd pages and then the even pages
The user will need reload the odd pages after the prompt
The /DUI option sets the printers duplex option
The /PA option sets the paper size to A4 (210x297 mm)
The /PL option sets the paper size to legal (8.5x14 in)
The /Wx option sets the destination printer LPT 1,2, or 3
/W1 or /W2 or /W3 - the default is the default printer
The /C option adds a name or comment to the header on page 1
for example: /C"Don Hawkinson" or /c"windows IS a virus!"
The /B option issues new page after a user specified string is found
for example: /b"page break" or /b"new page"
version 0.55 compiled on Sep 01 2005 at 10:07:06
The /F option sends the output to a file called testprn in the current
directory. This allows the user to see what would be sent to the printer
without using ink or paper.
The /W and /B options only require the quotes if the text includes a
space.
Please let me know if this program works with your printer and the model
number of your printer. If you have suggestions for program options, send
them too.
I will be making frequent changes to the program and will not always make
an announcement that a new version is available.
You can check the version number by executing the program with no
arguments.
