1178.1No, but aren't they both standard connections?UPROAR::EVANSGGwyn Evans @ IME - Open DECtradeThu Sep 26 1991 05:520

I was thinking more about availability of drivers etc etc rather than
physical connection.

Physical connection is no problem. Trying to understand what characters
I have to send to it to get it to do what I want is more difficult.

For instance, in the book which comes with the printer it has some
command sequence for super/subscript. It says something like

	ESC G n1		- Set super/subscript

But what value is n1 ??? Is it 0 or 1, or 0 and 1 in ASCII or what ???
1178.3Yes there is!UKCSSE::KEANEThu Sep 26 1991 07:5311
    
    There was a review of the Canon a few months ago in ST User. They said
    that there was a software company offering two drivers for the ST. I
    cant remember the name, but it is the outfit that do all the Urdu and
    Hindu script drivers for Signum, something *GATE* computing I think.
    Can anyone give the full name?.
    
    Cheers

Don't suppose you could get me a copy of this, or give me a brief
overview ...
1178.5i will post the info!UKCSSE::KEANEThu Sep 26 1991 10:4311
    
    At great personal expense, I will look up the article and post the name
    and telephone number for you. I dont think that the article had the
    price attached, but you can "let your fingers do the walking"

    I bought a BJ10, a parallel cable and connected them together.
    Bootiful print...as good as a laser.
       If you can get hold of a LA324 programmers manual that gives all the
    control codes for the XL24, which of course the Bubblejet emulates and
    which should answer most of your questions.
    The graphics are supurb. I use it for producing printed circuit
    layouts. I can select 1:1, print onto acetate and produce the boards
    directly from there.
    If you don't want fanfold paper then I strongly recommend the BJ10.
