URGENT Strange behavior of Canon and Epson printers with Microsoft OS

[vijay]

When printing from NT / 9x to (networked shared) Canon BJC(and Epson too )
printer on Win2k. Application behaivior is not identical

Application No of copies Collate
=======================================================
Word Enabled Enabled
Excel Enabled Disabled (I
think this behavior is correct*)
Acrobat Reader 4 Disabled Enabled(no use when
# of copies are disabled)
Acrobat Reader 6 Disabled Disabled
Wordpad Disabled Enabled(no use
when # of copies are disabled)

* As this Printer's NT driver send Raw data type over network and there is
no(unlike PCL) escape sequence command for # of copies (checked with GPD).

VVV

I might be talking off the topic but you seem to miss the point with RAW
data. PCL is the RAW data as it native printer language. and most (if not
all) native printer languages have a command for number of copies.
