print in MIPS the corresponding HI and LO number - printing

does someone know how to print HI and LO correctly when you make the multiplication in MIPS?. The HI and LO works as 64bits register, but the read print syscall only works with 32 bits. I need create a code to print the correponding HI LO number.

How to define custom character with code > 126 using ESC/POS commands?

I'm trying to define custom characters on thermal printer NCR 7199.
I used ESC/POS command
ESC & y c1 c2 x d1...dn
and it works fine. But this command can change only characters in range 32-126, and those characters are latin letters and common symbols.
I'd prefer to replace characters with codes 8E-8F, for example, but cannot do it using this command.
Is it possible? Or is there any other ESC/POS command for user-defined characters?
UPD.
It seems like a firmware update can fix this problem. Firmware version on our printer is v99.21, and I saw this in release notes:
v99.25 "based on v99.24"
1. Allowed User-defined characters defined range from 20H to FFH in 7199 Emulation mode
Another user-defined character setting command for Kanji is for printers that support the MBCS character set, which is not what you want.
FS 2
Define user-defined Kanji characters
However, although it is unclear whether NCR 7199 supports it, ESC/POS has the ability to customize the font of the user-defined code page rather than the individual characters.
Please refer to the contents of the following pages.
GS ( E <Function 7>
Copy the user-defined page
GS ( E <Function 8>
Define the data (column format) for the character code page
GS ( E <Function 9>
Define the data (raster format) for the character code page
GS ( E <Function 10>
Delete the data for the character code page
Problem solved by updating firmware.
After updating "Main Firmware" to v99.27 (it seems that version must be greater or equal v99.25) and changing Emulation mode to "NCR 7199" I was finally able to define characters in all range 20-FF.

ZPL command barcode 3 zeros creates issues

I am trying to print to a GT800 Zebra printer thru serial port.
I am using ZPL. I want to control the width which is fine in auto mode. To address that in the >^BC> command I am using Auto mode as no other size setting under ^BY works
Following is the code
^XA
^MMT
^PW831
^LL400
^LS0
^BY2,,76^FT225,141^BCN,76,Y,Y,N,A
^FD:RNIP29200082034^FS
^FO225,157^A#N,18,10,E:CAL002.FNT^FD26030-0892R^FS
^FO383,157^A#N,18,10,E:CAL002.FNT^FD08.01.20 12:00PM^FS
^FO225,187^A#N,18,10,E:CAL002.FNT^FDLAMP-DR RH^FS
^FO453,187^A#N,18,10,E:CAL002.FNT^FDXBA3^FS
^PQ1,0,0,Y
^XZ
There is a funny problem. If the ^BC mode = A then if three zeros come together gives issues for eg ABCD29200082034 it prints ABCD29200 and does not complete the barcode. But the other lines are getting printed. But if the data is ABCD29200182034 , there are no issues.
If BC mode = U then even if the code is ABCD29200182034 it prints 292001820347. Note 7 is added in the end.
I am clueless as to what is this issue. I remember facing this same issue in Honeywell printer too once.
Thanks
NOTE : I replaced the 000 with 111 and the problem persists.
ZPL Manual says the following
A= Automatic Mode :This analyzes the data sent and automatically determines the best packing method. The full ASCII character set can be used in the ^FD
statement — the printer determines when to shift subsets. A string of
four or more numeric digits causes an automatic shift to Subset C.
Note , it says a string of four or more numeric digits causes an automatic shift to subset C, but when the same string is 290010 it has no issues. I am really lost

How do you define the length of a parameter in ESC/POS?

I need to be able to print Hebrew characters on my Epson TM-T20ii. I am trying to get my printer to switch to character code page 36(PC862) using
ESC t36
for some reason the printer is switching to code page 3 and then printing the number 6.
Is there a way to let the printer know that the 6 is part of my command?
If you know of a different workaround please comment below.
Thanks
You are making a mistake, you aren't meant to replace n with an actual number.
The proper syntax in your case would be ←t$
Explanation: the manual says "ESC t n", n referring to the page sheet, however you don't replace n with a number rather with the ASCII character n, so in your example 36 = $ because $ is the 36th character on the ASCII table.

MIPS Printing a Label

I am now starting to use Mars to code In Assembly, I wrote the following code but got an error. Any ideas why?
.text
main:
la $ao,Pat
li $sv0,4
syscall
li $vo,10
syscall
.data
Pat:.asciiz "My name is Patricia"
Can also someone explains if there are some specific things to write before ".text" or after ".data".
.text
main:
la $a0,Pat
li $v0,4
syscall
li $v0,10
syscall
.data
Pat:.asciiz "My name is Patricia"
First of all v0 is the main thing which tells the assembler what to print. Since you are printing integers, v0 needs to be 1. The same goes for the others like:
float : 2
double : 3
word , string : 4
After giving the instruction, you can print by putting value only in a0 (its reserved for that).
So now the code will give you the result:
Code run result
Earlier in your code, sv0 was written and in some places instead of 0. :)

Gdb Syntax for print command

How can I view the data at the address of the first operand in gdb?
cmp [ebp+eax], edi
I tried using:
print /d $ebp
print /d $eax
and manually adding the values to make the address, but was not sure what to do next, or if there was an easier way...
(gdb) help x
Examine memory: x/FMT ADDRESS.
ADDRESS is an expression for the memory address to examine.
FMT is a repeat count followed by a format letter and a size letter.
Format letters are o(octal), x(hex), d(decimal), u(unsigned decimal),
t(binary), f(float), a(address), i(instruction), c(char) and s(string).
Size letters are b(byte), h(halfword), w(word), g(giant, 8 bytes).
The specified number of objects of the specified size are printed
according to the format.
For your example:
x/d $ebp+$eax
