>>I'm trying to send an escape sequence from a vfp program to print a signature that is on a DIMM Chip in my laser printer (HP 4000). But the Escape character (chr(27)) gets stripped out and the following sequence get's printed, instead of activating the signature to print. Is VFP or the Windows driver stripping out my Escape? How can I stop this from happening?

This is from within a report. So I can't use ???. Basically for security reason's the signature is stored on a ROM chip on a DIMM. So what I want to do is put the cursor is the appropriate place and dump my Escape sequence. which would normally go something like chr(27)+'(s0p8.00h8.4v0s0b0TA' or something like that. Basically the picture is stored as a font character 'A'. The only problem is the Escape is getting stripped out.
