Printing Signatures on Windows NT 4.

[dkehoe]

I have a problem printing signatures from within a TXt file on NT.
I am trying to print to a networked HP 4050 which has ben loaded with the necessary fonts.

When I try to output to the printer it will not interpet the escape sequences embedded in the TXT file.

By the way the same txt file printed from an Alpha running Open VMS interpets the escape sequences and prints the signatures correctly.

Regards

Try this :

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LPDSVC\Parameters
On the Edit menu, click Add Value.
Add the following:

Value Name: SimulatePassThrough
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1

NOTE: The default value is 0, which informs LPD to assign datatypes according to the control commands.
I have not failed, I just found 10000 ways that don't work
