adriaan Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Hi, I have a Fujitsu DX2200 dot matrix printer, I want to print to this printer in plain text mode, and not postscript stuff? I can't find a filter to do this :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeg Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 I'm not sure what you mean by 'not postscript stuff.' Use CUPS. If you send plain text to your printer, it will print text. If you send formatted text, the CUPS drivers will (try to) print in the format that you specified. AFAIK, no 'filters' exist to strip the formating from formatted text but almost all word processors have the option to save and/or output plain text. Text editors output plain text unless you intentionally add formatting. I don't have a Fujitsu impact printer; mine is a Panasonic. I use it a lot in 'draft mode' to get a legible hard copy of a long script. Perhaps your Fujitsu also has a similar setting? Tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
