Quiz 8.4G (Windows) and network printing - LaserJet escapesequences being ignored

Care to share those?
Maybe there is something wrong with me e-mail, but apart from Jeffs response 
I didn't get anything else.

Regards, Markus

And that was the solution!  I barked up a couple of wrong trees with 
installing other spoolers, and trying to use various combination of raw 
printing setup, to no avail.  But the plain old 'print' command in a dos 
window did exactly what I needed.

Since we will not have more than two users, and they will be using the same 
networked printer, this will simplify things considerably.

Funny that there are no equivalent to the dos PRINT command that simply send 
the output to the printer 'unmolested'.

One of our other department has been using ROC Software's spooler, but they 
have a geographically dispersed user base. I'm glad I can avoid this cost. 
DOS print it is...

Thanks for all the suggestions, Charles & Ken. I especially like the 
'genericity' of Ken's setup.

Michel

Hi

Under windows you will have to output a file then use the DOS print command.

Have fun

Hi all,

can anyone provide an idea of the magic incantation/settings to have a 
LaserJet 4250 recognize the escape sequences sent to it to select fonts and 
so on? With the MPE version, users were printing via Minisoft and it all 
worked, but trying to port this to Windows, the printer simply disreguard 
the escape character.

The initial heading line show up on the first page, instead of being acted 
upon.

The printer is networked via standard Microsoft Windows print server.

It is probably something real simple, but what?

Thanks
