Print codes for HP Inkjet

[Nancy Palmquist]

Scott,

I have setup printing to a wide variety of windows printers and in my 
experience most basic codes work with any that understand PCL3.  If you 
are working with very complex layouts I have found some codes need 
help.  My suggestion is to setup the printing for that printer.

1. Make sure windows can print to printer and that you used a PCL 
compatible printer driver.
2. Make note of the Windows Printer Name such as "HP OfficeJet Pro 6970"
3. IN filepro setup printer destination so it says: WIN:HP OfficeJet Pro 
6970
4. Setup up printer type with a PCL table you want from filepro's options.
5. Set printer as default and hardcopy a screen - With no printcodes.  
If that works, try your form.  If not, see if your job was stuck in the 
WIN Spooler for that printer or watch it while you test another print job.

Those are generally my steps to setup a printer and 95% of the time they 
work.  I have had a few times when I told the customer to get a better 
printer.

Using the PDF option avoids some of this worry - also an option.
Nancy
