I've been using a .bin routine that I picked up years ago, and it doesn't work. I've also tried copying the font directly to the printer with no luck.

In the files section is a file called rawprint. This .FLL provides a function to copy a file directly to a printer name, IP address or UNC path. I have used it succesfully under Win9x, NT 4.0 and Win2000. I don't do ME.

IF RawPrint([HPLJ4050],[BLogo.dow]) = .F.
MessageBox([ RawPrint Sending of Font File Failed ], 64, [ oPrint::SendFont])
EndIF

With some success I have used the CopyFile API in Kernel32.

DECLARE INTERGER CopyFile IN Kernel32.dll ;
STRING @SourceFileName ;
STRING @DestFileName ;
INTERGER bFailIfExists


IF CopyFile([BLogo.dow],[LPT2:]) = 0
MessageBox([ API Sending of Font File Failed ], 64, [ oPrint::SendFont])
EndIF


Hope this helps

You know, it works on my computer. I don't know what your problem is.

.Net aint so bad.
