Here is Version 1.4 of BubbleTools which incorporates a few bugfixes.
The BubbleTools are a set of printer drivers which convert G3-Fax,
PBM and PPM-color files into printable data. Printers which should
work with these tools are:
Cannon Bubble Jet printers (tested on BJC-70).
IBM Proprinter X24E (tested on BJC70 in emulation mode)
Epson LQ1550 (tested on BJC70 in emulation mode)
Epson Stylus (bug: line feeds need to be fixed, but read on)
and compatibles.
I have written the programs with the Canon BJC-70 which claims to emulate
either an IBM Proprinter X24E or an Epson LQ1550. The programs run fine there.
On other printers, your mileage may vary...
To fix the Epson Stylus bug, I just need someone with a Stylus who takes a
look into the handbook and tells me the code for 1/360" or 1/180" paper feed.
