Greetings everyone
I have a need to print to dot matrix printers direcly without using the windows printer driver. Normally this is not a problem using the tripple question mark, howver if you use the Name option to set the printer to, you get a form-feed pre-pended to the print stream.
Is there anyway to suppress the form-feed ? I have tried this on a number if different networks and the results are consistent.
Additional info:
The printer is an inherited printer from Terminal Server - Terminal Server has a bit of a "quirk" - inherited printers have a NAME only - no device so you must print to them via: SET PRINTER TO NAME My_Local_Printer
Then when you output something it it [ like a small file using ??? [ three quesion marks ] you get the dreaded ff appended.
Does anyone know of a way to get around this ?
TIA
