Hi Markus,

 

I had not noticed that Ken's reply was directly to me, and not to the list.
Ken, may I repost to the list your reply?

Hi Michel, 

 

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

 

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.

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
