RTF - printer control?

This document indicates that you can insert characters such as cariage return by using \13, but they get treated as a paragraph mark.

Perhaps you could get by with \par, \page, \tab etc?

Well, Im tryin to force a print using RTF.

like force a printer feed or print page..

\page will insert a page break. When you print a document with \page in it, it should be interpetered by the printer as 'start a new page'.

the escape code is \’XX where XX is your hexadecimal code, 0x prefix is notrequired

btw, I think it only accepts 8bit hexa decimals, so you might have to give it as \’AE\’1F etc

Have Fun!

How about creating .ps files?

Hmm I need to use the RTF code to actually start a print process... Is this possible, I tried \page but without luck...

I was thinking maybe an escape character or something perhaps a unicode or other escape sequence to actually initiate the printer...

I just need it to make some response from RTF output.. (either feed a piece of paper, print a line of text. etc)

try \’0C for a form feed

IVe tried the following without luck ( no response from a printer )

{\rtf\ansi\'1B\'0C\ \'01\'02\'03\'04\'05\'06\'07\'08\'09\'0A\'0B\'0C\'0D\'0E\'0F\'10\'11\'12\'13\'14\'15\'16\'17\'18\'19\'1A\'1B\'1C\'1D\'1E\'1F\'20\'7F\'1B\'80\'81\'82\'83\'84\'85\'86\'87\'88\'89\'8A\'8B\'8C\'8D\'8E\'8F\'90\'91\'92\'93\'94\'95\'96\'97\'98\'99\'9A\'9B\'9C\'9D\'9E\'9F; }

Did I miss any?

what happens when you print the file?

well, particularly im tryin to print or activate the printer when a user 'visits' the document... (using an rtf display).

Thank you for your efforts.

I would love to at least award you points for trying ;-)

thanks :)

may be if you explain your requirements, I can help you better
