Message: [QUOTE="Brian Smither, post: 4702291"] [posted and mailed] This has happened (or will happen) to almost everybody. You said that "one day she could print from her DOS application and the next day she couldn't." So please research the workstation and try to come up with *everything* that changed between those two days. Did you get a new printer? A Win-Printer? What printer are/were you using? Did you allow any updates or patches to be applied: security, system, or drivers? Did you install any new software or upgrade any software to a newer version? If, for the life of you, you can't imagine what, if anything, may have changed between "one day" and "the next day", then I can only suggest you invest in a neat (and inexpensive) utility called DOSPRN ([URL="http://www.dosprn.com"]www.dosprn.com[/URL]). Currently, it emulates a generic/text-only printer and the Epson ESC-P series of printers. Almost all sub-$150 printers and all USB printers do not have their own printer control language installed. Thus, sending a simple text stream - typical of DOS programs - cannot be interpreted by the printer. Brian Smither Smither Consulting [/QUOTE]
