Print to PCL6

[Richard Kreiss]

Joes,

I don't recall seeing anything about this being a network installation only that it was a windows install.

In the past Ken Brody always asked if one tried the programming that a question was being asked about.  

Specific hardware issues can be frustrating and asking if anyone had a solution or knew of a problem is what this list serve is for.  This was definitely a filePro issue.

The question that could have been asked is "Are you able to print from a Windows application? Or print a test page from the printer Windows printer setup.
