What do you mean by "Printer Codes" ? Control codes (escape sequences) ?

I used to write using clipper (back in '85) problem is I don't remember what the api's are that it offers.<br />

I need to put in the printer command codes that change the format of the printer, like line spacing and lpi, the codes are=&gt; ESC C 2767 1B43 and that is supposed to tell the printer to print 8 lines per inch. &nbsp;But I do not know how to put them into clipper. &nbsp;Maybe you know another way?<br />

The escape sequences are just like any other text - the difference is the way the printer interpretes them.<br />
Just print the codes as a text.<br />
<br />
2767 is the decimal representation of ESC C.<br />
1B43 is the hexadecimal.<br />

Not C, but Clipper ???

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
