Re: JTOpen & SpooledFile with Printer Device Type *USERASCII

I am familiar with reading SpooledFiles in Java using the toolbox.

I am having trouble with reading a SpooledFile that has a Printer Device
Type of *USERASCII, however. I have tried using
getTransformedInputStream but keep getting a generic error message.
I have tried getInputStream() but I get a ton of garbage characters back
in the stream.

If I recall correctly *USERASCII means that the printing system just consider it a binary blob instead of anything with lines and overlays and such.

Would the garbage characters happen to be valid PCL (HP printer language)?
