Tobi,

Sorry but my printer is a "Brother HL-1430"

your file is in HP-PCL format, which seems not to be supported by your
printer, accordingly with:

http://www.brother.com.au/Products/Printer_KeyFeature.asp?ProductID=118&Prod
uctTypeID=1&Solution=&subCategoryID=3

How did you obtained that file ?

Kind regards,

Hello,

I created this file with a very old factura programm.
Here I can choose same printers (no Brother) or print in a file.
No real printer works with my brother.
this is the only format I can choose.

So I take this file and print it on a hp laserjet 2300 L with "copy /b file
\\printer"
It looks a bit better, but I should be only 1 page and now there are almost
10 pages!!

Why??

I can't update or change my programm.

So long, Tobi

Tobi,

Is there a printer called "Generic Text/Only" or "Epson Dot-Matrix" or "IBM
Dot-Matrix" in that list ?
If yes, you can probably solve your problem by choosing that printer model
and installing Printfil, which redirects the print jobs to the Windows
printer translating the commands into the correct ones for your Brother (or
any other Windows printer, including WinFax and Adobe Acrobat)

It's worth a try anyway. A free Printfil trial is available for download at
my web site.
If you need help on configuring it with your accounting application, feel
free to write to my private e-mail address.
