I guess I may not have been clear. This is a 4GL report written to run on an HP-UX platform. Pure Character-based application. NO Windows! Michael Hoffman In <6ri57c$knh@news1.panix.com> article, Michael Hoffman mentioned that: : Hi all, : This is not specifically a 4GL problem, but I'm hoping someone : can point me in the right direction. : I have a 4GL report that needs barcodes printed on it (for labels). : The barcode number values are stored in a field in the DB. : I am printing on an HP LaserJet 4si with both internal and Postscript : fonts. : What are the escape codes (and how do I write them) that need to be : included in the report? I believe I just have to say "print escape_sequence" : and the printer will set itself accordingly. : Oh, before you say RTFM, I'm a consultant here and they don't have the : FM!!! :-} I tried calling HP, but they are totally unresponsive. : Have any of you done barcode printing before? Any help would be much : appreciated. (And if in the NYC area, worth a beer or two!) : Thanks, : Michael Hoffman
