+InsaneMultitasker Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Looks like extra linefeeds and some dropped characters at the start of each line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Looks like extra linefeeds and some dropped characters at the start of each line? yeah the script that translates complained about unprintable characters i'm thinking that since its a lx80 translator it may need some tweeking..also the picasso publisher may be adding CR's which is causing the line jumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+arcadeshopper Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Nope haven't got back to it yet. You can do it with text only pretty easy. But you need some Linux Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Happy Birthday to this thread... Was it all an illusion that continues to elude us, or is there still a glimmer of hope for printing in the future? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Needs someone with skills and desire and time. I don't have desire or time right now. -M@ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 I don't have desire or time right now. Completely understand. I don't have the skills or time myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonecool Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) I would love to see this as well. I'm not a big Linux guru, but definitely not afraid of trying. If anyone has a prototype/starting point to share, maybe we could setup a github repo to build from it until we get it working? I would try to contribute to it, though my skills are primarily Java, JavaScript, tiny bit of python for a robot prototype, arduino, vb and C#.Net (from like 7 years ago).

+FarmerPotato Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Found this thread. I was wondering about printing from a 4A-- plain text output to network printer. @arcadeshopper @jedimatt42 did printer support get anywhere? I searched but found only this thread.

+jedimatt42 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Print to the "PI.PIO" device. It'll make a PDF via an Epson printer emulation. The TIPI has a share named PDFS. In it you will find the print job. https://github.com/jedimatt42/tipi/wiki/PI.PIO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 COULD there be a way to send incoming text to a network printer? Like, I have a LaserJet 4050 on the network which accepts a slew of network protocols to print. Also, my more modern M253 color laser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 So this was discussed before. The open source software I use for the PDF generation is from a for profit product, and I would not feel right about stepping into that direct to printer space. His product connects a PI via centronics cable to your retro PC/home computer, and sends it to the network or USB attached printer. I also don't want to encourage printing to paper. Even though I don't like reading PDFs. retroprinter.com <- check it out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 What's wrong with a good old dot matrix printer directly connected to the parallel port? 😁 Mine has been in service since the mid-90's and still going strong (Panasonic KX-P 1123). But since most of us no longer do any serious coding directly on the TI with the advent of the TIPI and wireless access to its folders, I have found PI.PIO to be adequate for most applications. I do still think however that nothing beats a program listing on fanfold paper for editing and debugging! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jedimatt42 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I guess there has always been the hard way. But the PI.PIO. feature has been in there for more than a year... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
