Mark, When installing a printer on windows for use by mvBase or Universe, we always install it using the Generic/Text driver, *not* the manufacturer's driver.
The manufacturer's driver usually refuses to pass ESC sequences from our Basic printer driver and, in this case, may also be refusing to pass data. And, in the case of Universe, the printer resets to its default configuration once the printer driver program has ended, which defeats the purpose of executing the driver. We also set the Print Processor to "WinPrint" and the Data Type to "RAW". This has worked for mvBase on Win2000 Server and Pro and for Universe on both Win2000 Server and Pro and on Win XP Pro. The "wheels spinning" may indicate that the printer is getting ready to shuttle the first page of paper, but it never does because it never sees any data to print. hth, Dave Dave Taylor President Sysmark Information Systems, Inc. 49 Aspen Way Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274 800-SYSMARK (800-797-6275) (O) 310-544-1974 (P) 800-339-1497 (F) 310-377-3550 Your Source for Integrated EDI Translation and DataSync Integration www.sysmarkinfo.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2005 6:23 AM Subject: [U2] USB printer on D3 > I have D3 installed on an Windows Xp system.
