That is curious. I've had varying results with PCL5 vs PCL6 drivers on HP printers (though not related to DPSpool). PCL5 drivers sometimes seem to print faster. But PCL6 drivers often make more printer features available. And sometimes there will be a non-PCL driver for the specific printer if you go to HP's site that will provide much faster output, but has coding to detect non-OEM or expired print cartridges and prevent printing. Fun stuff.

I'll check that out. But I doubt it, since some of the bolding was correct, some not. I imagine none of the DP inserted bolding would have worked if it was DOS text, but some did. The driver at home is an HP universal PCL6 driver and the one in the office was an HP universal PCL5 driver. The former worked. The latter didn't. At least, if it was a driver problem. > > On Dec 8, 2011, at 8:41 PM, Tim Rude wrote: > > > Ralph, > > > > Did you make sure that your report output format was WP and not DOS > > Text? > > > > Tim Rude > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Ralph Alvy" <[email protected]> > > To: <[email protected]> > > Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2011 9:35 PM > > Subject: Re: [Dataperf] DPSpool and Bold On and Off > > > > > >> I wonder if this a printer driver problem, as it works fine at home on > > my XP virtual window under Parallels on my new Mac. > >> > >> On Dec 8, 2011, at 4:24 PM, Ralph Alvy wrote: > >> > >>> Been trying out DPSpool lately, and notice that using Bold On and > > Off > >>> codes (inserted by DP or manually inserted as <157> and <156> > > sometimes > >>> print out as something like this: > >>> > >>> !!"# > >>> > >>> followed by other jibberish like the above.
