Perhaps you should visit the C Unleashed page on my web site:

your Hamming code is your choice. No single entity *can* in a lot of ways.
In some sense, every value is triangulated by concurrent errors.

One of the source files linked is:
"text2bin.c 240,894 This program generates binary pixel image files,
suitable for encoding by encode.c, from ASCII text files (see
Chap18.txt for more information). Note size, contains large character
generator arrays!"
The next one you want to look at is:
"lj300.c 3,213 This program will generate files for an HP
LaserJet or compatible printer to output the images from encode.c,
decode.c, and test2bin.c (see Chap18.txt for more information)"
I've got these both on disc and a couple tricks up my sleeve here.

In fact, I used these two programs extensively in testing the T4
encoding and decoding programs. I generated image files with
text2bin, and used lj300 to generate files I could send to the
printer. Then I encoded and decoded them, and printed them to make
sure I got back the same thing I put in.
If your printer has PCL emulation, and many do, you should be able to
use lj300. If not, you should be able to get information on your
printer and use lj300.c as a starting point for a program to generate
binary files suitable for your printer.
As for sending the PCL 300 DPI image to the printer, I was running
Win98 SE in those days, and my Laser Jet 4 was attached to a parallel
printer port. The command line:
"copy /b filename.ext lpt1"
...worked just fine.
Of course, the Laser Jet and the computer that used to run Windows 98
have long ago been recycled.

ms-dos.progammer.something ?
Good luck with your project.What I'm struggling with now is my C setup. I've taken steps to enter
gcc's mailing list, but I want a c compiler when I stumble home from the
pub tonight.
I get gcc to execute, but gcc can't find the headers when these are my
compiler complaints and configuration:

Good grief. How can dos find gcc and gcc not find stdio.h?
