   If it is a printer that uses a proportional font that won't work. Escape   
   sequences, and hoping that you have a printer that is still doscompatible.   
      
   To circumvent these kind of problems myself, I wrote TeX code once, and   
   compiled it to PS or PDF that I then could throw binary to the printer.
