We are using an emulation package that allows our users to view the database in a Windows environment. Some of our programs contain the HP PCL commands, which are being used to print certain 132 character reports in compressed mode to the local PC printer (LPT1). We are using NEC Superscript 870 as local printers on the majority of our PCs. It seems that every so often the printer needs to be power-cycled before it will recognize the PCL commands. I have (2) HP LaserJets and (1) Samsung ML-1250 that don’t need power-cycled. The only difference between the printers is that the NEC printers are compatible with version 4.5 and the others are compatible with 6.0. Does anyone have any explanation as to why this is happening? And a solution?
Thanks.
