Thanks for the help. When I have tried this in the past, it seems to send PCL commands outside of the report print job. In other words, if I watch the print manager, I will see the report print job and then a separate job with the PCL code. However, I used ??? not ??. Do you think this makes a difference? I know I can get it to work if I bypass the print driver and just copy the ASCII file to the printer, but I would really prefer to use the windows driver.
