#Has anyone seen PC-NFS 3.0.1's print redirector drop escape characters when
#sending data to pcnfsd?  Is this a known bug?  Or is it "yet another
#feature" (tm)?  This only seems to happen with 3.0.1; PC-NFS 3.0's prt.exe
#appears to work fine.

Check out the documentation and the NFSCONF help screen for the
various printer modes. In 3.0.1 we added some filtering to the
standard text mode because various applications were blowing TranScript
away, then we added a "raw" mode for those apps and printers which
want to pass every single byte.
