When I'm in Ventura Publisher, I print to the printer, and
everything is fine. When I specify a print to disk option, and
later copy the file to the printer, ("copy file.c00 lpt1:"), it
prints in a strange way, as if it drops lines and characters or
font/format commands.
At first I thought that the print to disk option wasn't working
right, so I installed a printer redirecter, and it still did the
same thing.
The printer is a Panasonic KXP 4420 (Laserjet II compatible).
Anyone have any ideas?Jerome_J._Szelong.LAX1B@XEROX.COM (04/24/91)
Your print file on disk may contain binary information such as bitmap graphics or font downloads. When you use the normal copy command DOS assumes the file is text and looks for a special end of file code which may occur in the binary data. Try doing the copy with the /b switch which tells DOS that the file is binary and is shouldn't look for an end of file code. Jerry
