Once again, PRINTER FILE has zero effect on which print codes are being
used.  It was your PRINTER TYPE "nocodes" which caused the output to not
have ny print codes.  (And it was the execution of the PRINTER TYPE
statement, not merely its existence, that did it.)

You don't have to do anything regarding your PRINTER TYPE "nocodes", but
you have to remember that if you execute it, filePro will do as you tell
it and not use any print codes.
