Printing to the Printer in C Language wherein you can specify the format of the font
What codes in C Language in particular do i need in order to print to the printer the strings like "Hello World" with the specified font that i want like Gothic font, Times New Roman, ....
I have tried printing to the printer but it usually comes out with the default font which i think is like Courier, which is like a typewritter font.
I used this code in doing my printing job --> fprintf(stdprn,"%s",string
Example of my code:
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
char S[100] = "Hello World\n\r";
fprintf(stdprn,"%s",S);
}
What code do i also need in order to have the printer print in landscape instead of portrait.

I have read one of the question about printing and it was suggesting about escapecodes for formatting. Where can i get those escape codes?
Thank You in advance....

What OS are you on? If Windows, are you writing a console application, or a Windows app? What type of printer are you using?
listening
Do you have the printer manual? Does it have escape codes?
