I've already learned all the languages I'm ever going to learn. PS and HP were not among them. My hundreds of spreadsheets have Epson control codes embedded. That's how they will stay, not a task I could handle even if I wanted to. You embedded the codes in the cells? Inside? That's a nightmare! Oh, my.
If that's so, your only possibility is finding a printer that supports that language (no matter the price), or a program that reads that printed file and converts it to something else. Which is not impossible, because I did something of the sort on another life.
OUCH!!! The long suppressed geek in me rose and suggested perl for that, since it can chew on binary sequences. Give it the patterns and it can seek them out, parameters and all, and either remove them cell-by-cell or mutate them to something else. I try to keep that perl-geek suppressed for very good reasons. best illustrated: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/automation.png "... in another life" is right! -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
