It is possible. And it depends which one. If Epson is compatible, almost all programs that print graphics will work. It's worse with text if the printer doesn't have a Russian font - you'll have to either load an external one into it or print it in a column. mode.
I connected an Epson Stylus Color 640 to my Scorp - it worked.

It is possible. If he understands esc/p2 commands, then he can probably do it in graphics.

Most likely “no way” or “sucks”.
Printing b/w text will still be possible.
But the current spitters only have ASCII table character generator.
So you can forget about Russian letters.
Print in graphics?
This is IMHO theoretically possible, but where will you find the specification “how and in what
form to output data to the printer”?
I suspect that when switching to graphic mode, everyone The printer uses its own gadgets in the data exchange protocol.
PS: this is all of course IMHO, nothing more! ;)

There is an HP DJ-610 flower garden right there. There is no table with codes.
And there are no Russian fonts in it and cannot be loaded.
As a result, from under DOS you can only print in Latin...

Was the Russian font embedded in it? Do you get color pictures when you print from a monitor? Or should I print in halftone printing?

Our programmers only work on demos, but real
commander, they stopped working on other programs.
In particular, they didn’t write a printing program for inkjet
color printer, and, it seems, they are not going to write, because
they switched to computers and emulators, and on the PC Bill Gates took the trouble to write programs for any printers. Well, that's just me,
but seriously, I can say with confidence. An inkjet printer
connects to the Spectrum in the same way as a matrix printer, but it will print
only in black and white form, because There are no programs for printing with speck
in color. If the inkjet printer has Epson-compatible codes
(for example, "Electronics MC6312,6317", Epson Stulis), then
any printing program on the speck supports printing without
problems. If the printer's control codes are not Epson compatible, then you can also print, but the control codes must be entered
directly into the text. If the printing program has a special table for codes, then you need to enter the codes of your printer into this table. This is provided in the MikroEditor and
Edit IS-DOS editors. The TLW editor also has a table of tokens, but there
is not enough space for codes. For HP DeskJet 400 (etc.) printer
control codesare quite long, so in TLW you have to
inscribe them directly into the text. The text is printed with very
quality fonts included in the printer (Courier, Times, etc.).
Graphics, i.e. Pictures can also be printed, but in BASIC
it is necessary to include control codes for enabling the graphic
mode. Only printing will be in black and white.
Best wishes,
Vladimir Chernikov.

In all computer stores there is a sign “Inkjet printers from DOS are not in Russian are printing."
On the HP website in Russian letters in the questions/answers section it is written "in Russian
the printer does not print under DOS."
How does changing the radius of curvature of the hands affect the presence/absence of 866 encoding in the
printer?

How does it print in Russian in PS, huh? Maybe he doesn’t type in Russian anyway? And the fact that it doesn’t print in PS in DOS means that under DOS they simply didn’t write software for this and nothing more.
Although there are copies that print only in graphics, they are simply not worth
buying :)

In my HP DeskJet 400 printer (I think in others too, no more
3 years ago) Russian font PC Cyrillik
(CP 866) is installed by default. You can call it
using the ASCII control code - Ec(3R or in Hex -
#1B#28#33#52 or in Dec - 27 40 51 82. You can
put this code at the beginning of the text and it will be printed in the default
font.
Table ISO 8859/5 (Latin Cyrillik) has a code Ec(10N,
i.e. 27 40 49 48 78 or in Hex 1B 28 31 30 4E.
There are many such tables in the printer for different countries.
If your printer does not have a Russian font (in printers
pre-perestroika), then you will have to flash the ROM in the printer
or use the graphic mode. But for there are no programs for printing text in graphic mode for inkjet printers not Epson compatible
SC> Was the Russian font embedded in it?
Mine was not.
SC> Do you get color pictures when you print from a monitor?
No. I had a description of the commands lying around somewhere... It can be done, in general.
SC> Or should I print in halftone printing?
What does that have to do with it? All Specov printer programs transmit data to the printer
on the principle of dot present/not present. Halftone printing is achieved by a different number of
dots per unit area. And for a colored dot you also need to specify the color.
In b/w modes it prints just like a regular 9-pin printer, but
only not all horizontal density modes are available :(
Now I looked at the description of the commands - it’s quite possible to do it. Maybe I’ll even insert it somehow into
my BGE plugin.

In what editor did I type the exercise? codes? What driver? What printing program did you use? This is very important. I have a DeskJet
with a Centronics interface, a parallel port on the computer on BB55,
driver d.b. corresponding. If your port is RS232, then
there will be "crackers".
They offer you the ESC/P2 table, it does not work on
HP inkjet printers or laser ones either. This table
is for EPSON dot matrix compatible printers. The one who
sends you this tab. thinks this is standard for all printers. He
is deeply mistaken. Maybe it only works on the
Epson Stulis printer.

So what do you need if you already know everything? WATCH YOUR TONGUE? Inkjet
and laser printers contain a lot
of code tables from different countries (look at the reference book),
if there is no Russian encoding there, it is a flaw of our
resellers. When I bought it I had to ask if the printer was Russified? But if it is not Russified, then there is enough memory to load our fonts, for this there are corresponding programs on the computer. For Spectrum there is
a program in IS-DOS called. "Alpha print". Ask
Leontyev, he will send you a disk, not for free of course.

Why are you stuck with this doss, that the wedge has converged on it??? Of course it doesn't
print, because they haven't written software for it, because there's no need for it, it's more pleasant to type in Windows.

There is nothing strange about this. In the 610 printer there is no way
to get to the ROM in order to reprogram it, but the printers
670, 690, 900 allow reprogramming and inserting the Russian coding table into the ROM.

Yes, that’s all, if that’s the case. To ease your responsibilities. In
all today's companies (I clarified this) they think that at the present moment none of the users print from MS-DOS,
therefore there is no need for a Russian encoding table. They don’t even have the idea in their minds that we still have many computers working in MS-DOS, CP/M, Siclair, BC, etc.

Dear Sashenka, you should at least read some
book on printers, then there would be fewer questions.
Briefly. Any printer has ROM and RAM. The ROM contains commands
and fonts. It is impossible to place in ROM all the fonts existing
on earth. Therefore, it is possible for the user to load his own fonts into RAM and print in his own language.
But unlike ROM, when the printer is turned off, the RAM is erased.
Got it?
Further, ROMs can be reprogrammable (PROM) and non-reprogrammable,
perhaps the latter is in the 610.
And one more thing. PROMs come with UV erasing and electrical erasing.
If the printer (not yours) has a PROM with electrical erasing
and recording, then you can reprogram it directly from
the computer without resorting to a programmer, but simply using
the appropriate program. Apparently this feature is available on
printers 670, 690, 900.
For clarity, subscribe to echoes: SU.HARDW.PC.PERIPHERAL and
SU.HARDW.PERIPHERAL, and ask the questions you are interested in,
you will definitely receive a qualified answer.:-)

You will laugh, but I not only read, but also a lot tinkered with my

Here you should also tell us what ROM and RAM are.
And then, suddenly, I don’t know what it is ;)

Logical.

Nope.
The main task of the printer RAM is the input buffer for
storing printed data.
Fonts were loaded there in the days of DOS.
Now the times of Unicode, True Type have come (you’ll already know about this hinted)
And in a small text of these fonts there can be up to a fig or more.
Now tell me how large the printer RAM should be in order to accommodate all this.

Stop.
Let’s decide anyway.
You eitheryou know exactly what you are talking about, and then there is no need for any “maybes”. Or
you yourself don’t fully know, but then you don’t have to “burden” me - I can do that myself
;)
VC> And one more thing. PROMs come in UV erasable and electrical erasable types.
So, that’s all? ;)

Does it really exist or is it “possible”?

What for?
I am somehow not interested in the question of whether or not it is possible to load
Russian fonts into my 610.
Since I print from DOS only if the source codes are disassembled.
Plus I have programs for printing with any Windows font straight from under DOS.
And, finally, there is such a small program “Word” is called names ;-)))
Imho, it’s the question of fonts that interests you.
For you began to prove to me that any inkjet has Russian fonts,
and if not, then in any inkjet you can have them in RAM load,
and if not, then in anystpyynike can be RZU pepeshit :)
