Having just discovered how wonderfully simple the HP Jetdirect protocol is
(it defaults to a plain ASCII text mode, like an old school printer), I
quickly threw together an Apple II network printing program, based on IP65.

With this program (which I am calling PRINT65) I can print plain text files
from Apple //e to my HP Photosmart 7520 all-in-one printer. This should
work with most HP printers.

I included the utility in the latest release of Emai//er (2.1.6), here:
https://github.com/bobbimanners/emailler/releases/tag/emailler-v2.1.6

Also included in this release is my SETMAC.SYSTEM utility for setting the
MAC address on an Uthernet-II. This is useful for those of you who have
more than one Uthernet-II-equipped Apple II on your LAN.

All the best,
Bobbi

At last! The much-needed print command for emails. :-)

Bobbi,

Thanks for passing on this information. The Photosmart 7520's built-in
language is PCL3 GUI, which is an RTL, and is common on most of HP's
ink-jet printers. For the most part it requires print jobs to be
rendered on the host computer and then sent as image streams to the
printer for printing.

That PCL3 GUI also supports a good ole basic text character 'line
printer' mode is something of which I was not aware, and is a good
thing. That means it must have at least one built in internal font.

Nice work on your emai//er suite, BTW. You've put in a bunch of work there.
