Embedded Logos etc

[Nalder, Jay]

I managed to accomplish this with OpenVMS (I don't know a lot of UNIX).
This was created to work specifically for HP laser printers.

1)      Create a binary form of the logo (something in PCL language)

2)      Define a printer form and include the binary logo in the page setup macro on this form.

3)      Print a text document using the defined form.

Sure this is not a UNIX answer, and it is rather vague in specifics, but it might trigger some ideas.

Hi Stephen:

    I used to use Jetform for that sort of thing.

    If there is an escape sequence in the Printer Control Language to cause a picture
    to be printed then you could embed that sequence in your Quiz code.

    A rugged approach:- Print the logo on paper then send the paper through the
                                 print again this time printing the text.

Regards,
Peter Bateman

All,

We are producing a text file out of our Powerhouse application and utilize Unix printing for the output.
And we have a client who wants to embed a company logo, gif or jpeg into a text document.
Does any one have experience or examples of how this can be done?

Thank you

Stephen McCartney
