I am trying to print a .bmp file (a signature capture) to a PCL inkjet printer (Jbase version 3.4.x windows) at the bottom of an invoice. Has anyone accomplished this before or knows how to do it?
See the demos I created for PrintWizard, BASIC source code provided: nospamNebula-RnD.com/products/printwizard.htm Contact info for the vendor at bottom of that page.
We don't sell PrintWizard or get commissions, I just think it's great software and quite frequently it's THE solution to lots of printing problems people present in these forums.
Please let us know what you think. Tony Gravagno Nebula Research and Development TG@ remove.pleaseNebula-RnD.com

Thanks. One question though. It works in command prompt in windows, but when I put it in a program it locks up and will not print. This is the code line. Any ideas:

I will try it. What I found is if I log onto the windows account jbase runs on it works. If I go on a different account it does not. But I did not try the specif printer approach.
I am assuming in order to use this I need to put the entire invoice in a text file, write it out somewhere in windows and then print and delete it. That is how print wizard works.
It would be nice if jbase itself had a utility to print graphics files within normal print statements. This way I would not have to re-write entire programs to do this kind of printing.

Actually, it's DOSPrinter that allows you to embed graphics in the
document. If you read the documentation from that link, it tells you
how to do this. In a nutshell, there are a few options but the way I
do it is to place:
<esc>"graphic_name"
in the document at the place you want the graphic to be. Note that
<esc> is char(27).
You can generate the document so that it ends up in the jBASE spooler
under a form queue that is created like this:
0001 PROGRAM jspool
0002 INCLUDE JBC.h
0003 id = CHANGE(UNIQUEKEY(),'/',']2F')
0004 tempdirname = 'c:\temp'
0005 OPENSEQ tempdirname:DIR_DELIM_CH:id TO outstream ELSE
0006 CREATE outstream ELSE NULL
0007 END
0008 args = SYSTEM(1000) ;* addl parameters (like
printername, cpi, lpi, font, etc)
0009 printername = args<2>
0010 cpi = args<3>
0011 IF cpi = '' THEN cpi = 10
0012 LOOP
0013 numchars = SYSTEM(14)
0014 WHILE numchars DO
0015 INPUT line, numchars
0016 line := CHAR(13)
0017 WRITESEQ line ON outstream ELSE NULL
0018 REPEAT
0019 WEOFSEQ outstream ELSE NULL
0020 CLOSESEQ outstream
0021 cmd = "C:\Software\DOSPrinter\DOSPrinter.exe /DEL
/SEL'":printername:"' /CPI":cpi:' '
0022 cmd := tempdirname:DIR_DELIM_CH:id
0023 EXECUTE CHAR(255):'k':cmd
If you are on jBASE 3.x then you would need to:
a) change line 3 to something like this:
id = SYSTEM(21):'_':DATE():'_':TIME():'_':SYSTEM(9):'_':RND(32000)
b) change the OPENSEQ lines 5 thru 7 (inclusive) to:
OPENSEQ tempdirname:DIR_DELIM_CH:id TO outstream NULL
c) make sure 'openseq_creates = true' is set in your 'Config_EMULATE'
file under the appropriate emulation section
And, of course, line 21 should be changed to something that makes
sense on your system
You'll note that the code automagically removes the temp file when it
is done despooling.
DOSPrinter has a robust array of printing options, and all for just 40
smackers for a single user.***

Running into an issue. I set it up as you said tweaking the program to match my system. When I send a job to the new printer it does run the jspool program but nothing is being passed. i know this because I have jspool writing out the numchars value to a file and it comes up with zero each time. What would cause the spooled data to not pass to the jspool program? I assume I send it like normal by doing the printer on and print statements. Program below:
001 OPEN '','MD' TO MD ELSE STOP
002 PROMPT ''
003 INCLUDE JBC.h
004 id = SYSTEM(21):'_':DATE():'_':TIME():'_':SYSTEM(9):'_':RND(32000)
005 tempdirname = 'c:\temp'
006 OPENSEQ tempdirname:DIR_DELIM_CH:id TO outstream ELSE NULL
007 args = SYSTEM(1000) ;* addl parameters (like
008 printername = args<2>
009 LOOP
010 numchars = SYSTEM(14)
011 WRITE numchars ON MD,'XXXNUM'
012 WHILE numchars DO
013 INPUT line,numchars
014 line=line:CHAR(13)
015 WRITESEQ line ON outstream ELSE NULL
016 REPEAT
017 WEOFSEQ outstream ELSE NULL
018 CLOSESEQ outstream
019 cmd = "C:\DARTSCD\DOSPrinter\DOSPrinter.exe /SEL'":printername:"' "
020 cmd=cmd:' /DEL ':tempdirname:DIR_DELIM_CH:id
021 EXECUTE CHAR(255):'k':cmd
022 END
program doing the printing:
001 PRINTER ON
002 PRINT 'HELLO'
003 PRINT 'HOW ARE YOU'
004 PRINT CHAR(27):'C:\SIGNATURES\836-1.BMP'
005 PRINT 'HELLO AGAIN'
006 PRINTER OFF
007 PRINTER CLOSE
008 END
the above is run after assigning the GPRINT printer specs below::

I'll correct the graphics line, but that is not what is causing the issue though. The openseqs is correct as it does create the file. It just has 0 bytes though and nothing is coming into the input prompt. It has a count of zero for numchars. I also tried writing out what got input and it is blank. It seems I should get the hello and other lines as input but nothing is being sent to the program at all (though the program is being run). HPLJ6 is the printer name.

If anyone wants an alternate approach to this issue (not necessarily
better, just different), here's what we did in a pinch:
- Create a windows printer using an older HP Laser Jet printer driver
(like a LaserJet III)
- Set it to print to a file
- Print the bmp to this printer, generating a file
- Now you have a PCL stream to print the graphic.
- You then need to edit the stream and delete the first set of pcl
codes up to ^[*t300R. and then everything after the ^[*rB at the end
of the file.
- Then in your Basic program, do your PRINTER ON, then read the above
stream from a file, PRINT it, then print your regular text. The
Graphic print doesn't move the "cursor" on the page, so an ASCII print
will overlay the graphic.

Thanks Dan for the information. As you and I found, for some reason SYSTEM(14) does not pass the input buffer count when it is run in 3.4.x using the spooler under TELNET. It works when you put it in a normal program run under telnet, just not when it is the spooler.
The fix is either running the spooler under the console OR working around the SYSTEM(14) via the special end of job sequence.
Again, thank you for your help. If anyone else needs to know the details they can email me at h...@comp-ware.net or on this group.
