GOAL:
The adecomm/_osprint.p utility does not support printer control escape sequences?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
FIX:
adecomm/_osprint.p is a windows based print utility based on a Progress developed .DLL designed to to give some user flexibility for the user while printing a text file. The flexibility offered includes the choice of the font, whether to have a printer setup dialog or not, etc.
It does not offer the capability of sending printer control escape sequences to the printer. To do that from window, one would need issue special windows API calls that are not included in the _osprint.p utility.
Therefore, to send printer control escape sequences to the printer, use the Progress 4GL OUTPUT TO PRINTER statement, issue the appropriate windows API calls directly from your 4GL application, develop your own customized .DLL or use an already existing third party .DLL that has the desired capabilities.
