Happy New Year, Folks!
I'm looking for a Linux program which will render on
screen what should be printed by an Epson printer stream
in Epson's "ESC/P2" code.
Reason: I have a file of such data ("printed to file").
When output to a printer (Epson SQ-1170), it does not
print correctly. I want to check whether it is the printer
which may be at fault, or whether the data is incorrect
(as output by a printer driver for this printer under
Win98). Since it seems to consist almost entirely of
binary (graphics) data, it is very hard to check it by
hand, though various experimental cross-checks strongly
suggest that the error is in the data stream.
An independent program which should render the data stream
correctly would probably clinch the matter.
Any suggestions?
Best wishes to all for 2003!
Ted.
