>Is that possible? I need it for Windows 2003. The printer is a network printer.
Can you elaborate on why you're trying to do this?
If the printer is a GDI printer then no, you can't send "raw data". If it has its own print engine you should be able to.
There are several possible configurations for "network printers" - which is your case?
1. Printer has a network card. Print jobs travel directly from workstations to the printer
2. Printer has a network card. Print jobs travel from workstations to a print queue on a server computer, which then sends them to the printer
3. Printer is directly attached to a server computer via USB, parallel cable etc. Print jobs travel from workstations to a print queue on this server, which sends them to the printer
