Printing - Filters  
Hi,

I would like to have a few inputs on the following requirement 
My application has to support printing the data irrespective of the type of printer attached. The end user can connect 
any kind of printer to the target board. 


Is there any printer language, by which the data can be printed in any kind of printer(canon, Hp, Epson etc)?

Is there any way data can be printed irrespective of the type of printer connected to it?

BY using filiters phs-to-bjc, phs-to-ps, phs-to-pcl etc, phs file can be converted into a specific printer format but 
how it can be used if the type of printer is unknown?


Thanks in advance,
Logesh

Re: Printing - Filters  
It will be impossible to make any printer work :-(, because different manufactures support different graphics/printer 
languages. You can try to use one of more common printer languages. For example PostScript is supported by a large 
number of printer manufacturers. You can say that your system requires a Post Script compatible printer. 
My second choice is PCL5, which is very common too.
