 Name:         »Setprinter« - Initialize the printer.

 Opcode:       33

 Syntax:       int16_t Setprt( int16_t config );

 Description:  The XBIOS routine Setprt sets or reads the current 
               settings of the printer. The following bits can be 
               specified in the parameter config:

                Bit  Meaning 
                 0   Dot-matrix or daisywheel printer 
                 1   Monochrome or colour 
                 2   Epson, or Atari printer 
                 3   NLQ or Draft print. 
                 4   Centronics or RS-232 port. 
                 5   Continuous paper or single sheet. 

               With config = -1 the current configuration will be 
               returned. All further bits are reserved for future use.

               Note: Unfortunately, the settings made by this function 
               will be ignored by almost all parts of the operating 
               system. So in one's own programs one ought to evaluate 
               at least the choice of port as well as the type of 
               paper.

 Return value: The function returns the old configuration.

 Availability: All TOS versions.
