RE: [sqr-users] Printing Issues

Not sure why your .lis file is showing <esc>(s7B on the first line rather than 
<esc>(s3B? I think 7B may mean "very bold", but that should still work...

Anyway, the PCL looks fine. I think it's the way it's being printed. If the 
spooler thinks it's a text file rather than binary, it may strip off the escape 
sequences. It's easy to test if anyone out there has an HP printer connected 
directly to their PC:

1) Cut & paste those 3 lines from the .lis file below into a notepad document
2) Save to disk as sample.txt
3) Open up a DOS window to the directory that has sample.txt and type "copy /B 
sample.txt LPT1:"

Then tell us if it appears bold...

Nope, still no bold words.  I also tried changing my

move '(s3B' to $bold
to
encode (s3B into $bold

and that also did not work.  this is what the .lis file looked like after
those changes.  I am viewing it through UltraEdit.

&a1L&l4E&a728v309H(s7B
&a728v309HHello World
&a728v36H(s0B

which apparently looks the way it is supposed to, but for whatever reason
it still doesn't work.  Remember my original goal was to be able to print
multiple copies of one report in a batch environment (I was trying to get
something simple to work first, but have obviously failed to this point).
So maybe I should give up on the PCL and try another way.  Any suggestions?

Thanks again!

Ryan

Try removing the quotes in the encode statement:
  encode <27> into $escape
