For instance, we want to capture certain files and have them printed in landscape mode or in Courier (we default to Prestige). We would use this with applications such as Lotus which send print jobs to DOS LPT1 routinely. All parameters of our print jobs seem to work except the mode- we can choose the queue, the banner, the timeout, everything, but the choice of mode doesn't effect the printout at all. I have tried copying the Princon.dat file to PUBLIC , I have set SMODE=5 for capture.exe, I have checked and rechecked the escape codes in the printer functions associated with the modes, and sutill nothing. The laser printer works fine, and will respond to escape codes sent to it from inside applications. Can anyone help?
