Epson 9-pin dot-matrix printer emulator
FX80Emul emulates Epson compatible 9-pin dot matrix printers, of which the Epson FX80 is an example. It takes a file of text and printer control codes and interprets these as pages which can be viewed on screen and printed or saved as Draw files. It is also quite useful for displaying and printing text files.

This package is designed to work on a system with the following environment
| PrintPDF | Version: 1.20-1 | arm |
PrintPDF allows PDF documents to be created easily
PrintPDF is a front-end to GhostScript, allowing PDF documents to be produced
more easily under RISC OS. It adds a new "PDF Printer" as part of Printers on
the iconbar: using this, any application which can print to paper can now
also create a PDF document with ease.
Printing a file to PrintPDF will result in a "Create PDF" dialogue box
opening so that the PDF can be saved to disc.
Control is provided over all aspects of the conversion. The version of PDF
can be selected, and any images in the document can be optimised for the
intended purpose of the file. Details of the document's title, author,
subject and keywords can be specified: these can be seen in many PDF viewers.
PDF documents can be password protected and encrypted, and PrintPDF offers
full control over the available options. Bookmarks can be included in PDF
documents, using the built-in bookmarks editor. Sets of bookmarks can be
created and saved alongside the documents they relate to, then loaded back
into PrintPDF when the PDF is created.
The PDF Queue allows several separate printouts to be merged together into a
single PDF document. The separate files are printed separately to PrintPDF
and queued; once assembled, they can be arranged as required and turned into
a single PDF.

| PS2Paper | Version: 0.11-1 | arm |
Control paper sizes when using the Level 2 PostScript printer drivers
PS2Paper is a utility to help manage the paper sizes used by the Level 2
PostScript printer driver supplied with RISC OS. Note that it is not required
when using the Level 3 PostScript printer drivers from John Tytgat and Martin
Wuerthner, as these handle paper dimensions themselves.
As standard, the Level 2 drivers don't handle paper sizes well: they rely on
small snippets of Postscript embedded in files deep inside !Printers to pass
the dimensions on to the printer, and there are many subtleties to the way in
which this process works.
PS2Paper is designed to take control and make the paper sizes work as the
user expects. It is especially useful when using the Level 2 drivers to
generate Postscript files for use with a PDF creator such as PrintPDF and
GhostScript.
