      I need some help with using printer commands with a dot-matrix
printer. I have the
commands in both ASCII and Hex. I am trying to write a check  printing
program where the computer controls the printer completely, and where the
fonts  do not have to be set manually. I am using the DJGPP program and
so far have had no luck. I tried the Faq's and several books on C but to
no avail.
       I have used the commands `fprintf(stdprn, "string")'  and also `
fprintf(":lpt1", "command string")' 
      It seems the only way to use the printer is with BASIC which is
what I am trying to
avoid if possible. 
     I would appreciate any help on this problem.
Thank you
Vince McCarthy.
