>>The problem with that is that we have to insert control codes for smaller fonts and landscape. We did it for PCL printers thinking that all laser printers were PCL compatible... but they are not.

I'm doing well, thank you. How about yourself?

>It will become harder and harder for you to find pcl-compatible printers. I believe that none of the $200 lasers that came out during the past year are pcl-compatible - they're like most inkjets, just dumb toner squirters and all the real processing is done by the drivers and not by the printer.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll base the routine in a table as suggested by Hugo Ranea for maximum flexibiity. Hope there are some standards out there, or at least information. It would be nice if you could ask the driver "tell me your control codes".

Saludos a Susie,

Alex
