Please let us know how it goes. In my case I can even call (from dos): copy /b xxx.pcl prn: where xxx.pcl is some kind of pcl encoded graphics file (some examples, high-resolution Mandelbrot set pictures, are to be found on my page http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/z-scope.html). > As for Epson PS, maybe someday I will test it.

I just changed #ifdef __TURBOC__ #define ANSI #endif to #define ANSI Then it compiled simply by "cc -o epsonps epsonps.c".
