Re: [sqr-users] Printing Verical Text in sqr using GhostScript notworking

["Ray Ontko" <rayo@ontko.com>]

You can't use HP escape codes with printer=ps. The sample code below works
with Postscript. If you want to use PCL, you'll need to user printer=hp, but
I can't vouch for whether that will work.

Hope this helps.

   print 'horizontal' (5,5)
   print-direct printer=ps '270 rotate'           ! Rotate 270 degrees
   print-direct printer=ps '-792 -205 translate'


   print 'vertical' (3,3)
   print-direct printer=ps '90 rotate'            ! Rotate back to 0
   print-direct printer=ps '205 -792 translate'

   print 'Horizontal again' (6,5)
   print-direct printer=ps '/Courier findfont [12 0 0 -12 0 0] makefont setfont'
   print 'Mirror Writing' (7,5)
