I don't have the Epson LQ-800 anymore, I just have a bunch of Beebs... What
I was referring to is decoding the Epson targetted data stream from the
BBC's printer port, rasterizing that data and sending it to a Windows
printer. At the moment I can't print anything except text. It's not mega
urgent, just something that I wanted to do and wondered if anyone else had
an answer. Perhaps I should get my hands on a dot-matrix printer to get that
genuine "retro" feel...
