If anyone can help provide the syntax for RBASIC code to send an HP printer escape sequences to change lines per inch characteristics, etc. I'm not looking for specifics sequences just the RBASIC syntax.
Thanks for your help.

Tim,
Basically, you just open the printer with a PRINTER ON statement, and then PRINT the codes to the output stream.
If you want to "hang" the codes on the printer, just append a ":" to the end the print command. This will prevent the printer from just ejecting a blank page and then resetting it's formatting to the defaults.

What I do is to put the printer escape sequences into the HEADING statement. That way every page is set with the printer escape sequences. I set the LPI (lines per inch), CPI (characters per inch), etc.

I've had to look at printer codes in the past. The HP web site was very helpful. It had a lot of different sequence codes.
