I have found that AIX gets flaky with some characters, depending on the PCL command. I had to put some things into macros to get them to print properly, and as previously mentioned, I recommend using the "passthrough" setting for the form queue. You might find the following PCL Debug commands helpful: ^027&s0C - Enable End of Line Wrapping ^027Y - Enable Display Functions Mode ^027Z - Disable Display Functions Mode The ^027Y will display all characters received instead of executing the PCL. The first command allows overlong commands to wrap on the printer. I consider this the "last ditch" debug to figure out if the data I expect is actually reaching the printer. I suggest trimming PCL to the essential problem areas, if possible. Hope this helps. --Tom Pellitieri Century Equipment ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
