printing to windows spooler - width of doc problem

[Dennis Malen]

Chad,

Thanks for your reply. We understand what you are saying and have tried the 
string without success.

In order to get the windows spooler to recognize the print code from UNIX or 
filePro we redefined the printer queue as ageneric printer and that allowed 
windows to recognize the 16.7 font, but wrapped at the 80th character.

Jim Asman suggested some code that we could send over to windows to solve 
the problem. I have not tested that yet.

As soon as I do I'll let everyone know of the outcome.

Thanks again,

Dennis Malen

Dennis,

I am trying to tell you, it's not the printer or filePro.  If you are
printing from a unix box to a Windows machine running TCP/IP Print Services,
it is the Windows box that is messing with the job.  You have to tell the
Windows box to leave lpd jobs alone.  That is what the registry entry I gave
you yesterday will do (at least under WinXP).
