Mark, I've attached a "c" program I created called pcl2mac. It converts the PCL commands of a .PRN file into a file that can be copied to a HP LaserJet printer to load a page image and reprint it for each page generated. Thus the text file that follows will be "merged" with the pre-printed form.
Orginally I wrote it for the output from MS Word 2 and the .PRN file must only represent 1 page. We use UV on HPUX9000. New MS products generate a lot more junk into the .PRN file, but I think it will still work. You may want to select HP LaserJet 3 driver when printing from the application. To use it with universe, I added a "cat" command in the front of print driver script to copy the image to the printer, prior to the copying of the text of the report. Hope this helps... -- Rod Hills -----Original Message----- From: Mark Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 5:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms One of my clients would like to replace their pre-printed forms with those generated by the system. Basically the form has been re-created in MS Publisher and saved as a PRN file. I understand that there is some magic to send the form, keep the job open and then send the data for the form. This will most likely be HP PCL per my insistence but there maybe some Canon network printers brought into the mix. UV AIX RS-6000.
