m_write_printer

This call sends the string pointed to by bp to the printer. The string is expected to be composed of CP850 characters and of length len. Any special sequences required to produce the specified characters on output (as determined by the active character translation table) are processed during this routine.


Syntax:      int m_write_printer(bp, len) 
Parameters:  unsigned char far *bp - Pointer to the buffer containing the string of 
                                     CP850 characters to be printed 
             If any translations are required, they will be performed before 
             transmission. unsigned int - len Length of string to be printed 
Returns:     Number of characters sent to the printer 
Comments:    The length of the source string should be compared to the return value 
             to verify the success of an m_write_printer call. If the return value is
             less than the source string length, the application should call 
             m_close_printer immediately to abort the print request. The System Manager
             does not flag an error if a mismatch in these two values occurs.
