Programing Printers

[antona]

Does anybody know how to program a printer?

Specifically, Canon Pixma printers?

[mjdodd]

most printers have means in the 'properties' to do some programming (goto control panel and then printers and then choose yours and then properties.)

These properties are actually inside a printer driver software. sometimes using a differetn driver fromt he same manufacturer may (and ony may ) give more facilities.
If not then reprogramming a printer driver is a real software programmers job.
Sometimes some programs like word can give 'programming' hints like changing margins etc;

It is a programer that I need, someone who knows how a small bit of code is written for a program to control the printhead. Given the Canon Programing Manuals with the codes in it.
