    Posted: 05 Jan 2012 at 3:59am
Hello,
is it possible to send printer control codes from the Report to the printer in plain text over the printer stream?

Like Microsoft Word with this Tag:

{ PRINT "Printerinstruction" }

Our problem is that our Printstream should include a special code which will be read by a tool for tray-control. On our old System it works perfectly, because the text is in plain text in the printer stream, but now we have to use a newer Printerdriver on a 64-Bit OS, which shows the Code-String not in plain text in the stream :( so the tool is not able to recognize the Code-String.

We use a simple Textfield with Font: "Arial" and Size: "3" in the Report.

It is an "HP ColorLaserJet 9500 PCL5" printerdriver we have to use now on Windows 2008 R2.

Our old system runs on Windows Server 2003 with the printerdrver "HP Laserjet 9000 PCL5e".

A long time ago we had similar problems with the print on our old system, because we used another Font than Arial for the Code-String. We switched back to Arial and it was fine.

Is here someone who can help me, please!

Thank you very much

Greetings skontox
