Many printers can print in text-mode and in graphics-mode.
Codes like ESC "M" (chr(27) + "M") work in text-mode.
If you use standard reports in the usual way, you are printing in graphics mode, where you can't use printer codes like font-size.
Text-mode printing is much faster, but it has less options for presentation. If you want to try it, see my article on text-manipulation (Universal Thread Magazine, August 2003).
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
