NetLandians,
I've been requested to find code to "download OCR-A fonts to an Epson FX100."
I've checked all the usual places (PC-BLUE  and SIGM archives, CPM.LIST at
SIMTEL20, INFO-IBMPC, etc.) and can't find any such animal.  Stuff to set
printers to various things, or initialize them, but not "download a font."

Is this in fact an Epson capability?  The requestor is NOT describing a
graphics driver or a screen dump of a PC screen with a special font.

Would appreciate pointers to (1) some Public Domain code (MS-DOS or CP/M/
8080) or (2) a magazine article (Dr Dobbs, Byte, PC Tech Journal, etc.)
on how to do this.

Thanks in advance,
David Kirschbaum
