>I'm using a Generic\Text only printer driver on a particular print because of the speed advantage.
>I need to shift to an 8 lines per inch format instead of 6.
>My documentation says I can send the printer an ascii code for ESC 0 and it will go to 8 lines per inch.
>I send ? chr(27)+chr(48)
>Instead of printing 8 lines per inch it prints a graphic character and a period.
>Any clue as to how I can accomplish my goal.
>I can't switch to the standard Windows 98 driver because it tries to print back and forth, multiple passes per line and
>since the report is approximately 2500 pages, it is much too slow.
