Why? In the Windows driver world, you need .BMP files. If you need a
couple of BMP files converted to PCX, use an image processing
application like Photoshop or Microsoft Photo Editor.

Hello,

Currently, our printer works on PCX format images, so that I was thinking of
to convert not the BMP but the DIB to PCX.

I would love to explore this point, because I’m pretty sure you have a
fundamental misunderstanding (printers don’t do PCX), but I don’t think
it would be very satisfying for either of us, so I’ll just answer the
question.

I did a Google search for “pcx file format”, and the number 1 hit
included the file format plus some MASM code to display one. You should
be able to use that to write your conversion code.

Find the PCX documentation on www.wotsit.org. The format is absolutely
obsolete (never widely used since MS-DOS paint tools like DrHalo in around
1989) and so is nearly forgotten.
