Dilwyn, did you try using "parda" as device (d stands for "no translations used") Otherwise the SMSQ translation tables might garble your control codes.

The manufacturer states it has a HP PCL-3 control code set. I'm printing from QPC2 (no QPCprint, this printer doesn't need it). If I send the printer control codes like compressed 27,38,107,50,83 from either a program like PrinterMaster or from a HOT_CMD style hotkey, and then list a basic program with SAVE PAR (or SAVE PARa for correct end of line character) the control codes are ignored. If I do something like: OPEN #3,PARa BPUT #3,27,38,107,50,83 LIST #3 CLOSE #3 It seems to work OK. It's almost as though opening or closing the printer channel in QPC2 resets the printer to "standard" state. Anyone else with experience of this? And any suggestions how best to work around it. -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
