How to send PCL code to HP printers
Searching the QB forums, I found what might have been year 2002 solutions on responder's websites are no longer alive. I hope someone might know of a solution. I can easily print to my HP laser via my QB45 program, but need to format the output.

What exactly do you mean by "format the oiutput"?carl distenfeld wrote:Searching the QB forums, I found what might have been year 2002 solutions on responder's websites are no longer alive.

Do you perhaps mean commands for setting:
Portrait or Landscape
Lines per inch
Pitch
Left or right margin

PCL code to HP printers
Yes, along with italics, print size, width, etc. I have a HP laser 2430, and my operating system is XP professional. The print driver is HP 2430PCL, and I am using the parallel port. My application requires many daily copies, which differ depending on data input; so switching to notebook is not an option. A new hardware upgrade required WIN XP; so switching back to WIM 95 and a DOS printer is also not an option. The output reads correctly but looks like 1980s work.
