Control codes in Windows

[biggcheese]

I have a Star receipt printer that I run from a third party utility to
print guest passes for a library on receipt paper. I would like to get
the printer to automatically add 7 lines at the end of the printout so
I don't have to continually advance the paper with the feed button. I
have the control codes from the Star manual, is there any way to add
this information to the printer driver in Windows?

Unless the driver Properties has some method to allow you to enter control
codes, no. You might try defining a custom form that is 7 lines longer in
Printers and Faxes->File->Server Properties. Note that the driver must
support the size or it will not work.

you can build a specialized "port monitor" based on localmon-Sample from
Windows DDK.
A port monitor sees all raw printer code and can change it before it is send
to the printer.
You need good C-programming skill for this.
