Hi Everyone (& Tim if you're out there): Still can't get DPspool to work with DP2.6e. Those printer codes, fonts, & margins seem to be ignored and go to default Courier 10 with 10 lines/inch spacing, no margins. Underline and bold printer codes DO WORK and the printer DOES print the reports, just wrong font, margins, etc.
1. I tried changing printers, didn't help (Okidata 10ex and Brother 1440, both are DOS/Windows printers but they automatically go Windows mode when windows is connected). 2. I put the printers codes in first page header AND other page header as well...still no luck. 3. I tried various font names (case specific) listed for WinXP (all true type fonts)...latest trial was Dauphin, I checked these fonts with font viewer in Wordpad so they should work. 4. I double checked print queue location, it's where it should be in "c:\programs\dpspool", program "sees" print jobs requested and prints when I look at DPspool print manager. 5. I tried printing directly from WinXP to local printer, and also from my Win2000 home server to it's attached printer. 6. I edited the default printer on the INI file (see attachment) with same printer code settings. 7. I RELOADED Visual Basic 6.0 and latest patch. For what it's worth, here are my printer codes in the order I placed them in first page header (DOES THE ORDER MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE?): 8 lines per inch <213><0><8><213> Font name <244>FDauphin<244> Font point size <244>P9<244> Font width ratio <244>W75<244> Set left margin <192><0><0><12><0><192> I put these codes all under their own printer code headings. Any help appreciated! Thanks. Jon Ong MD
