Re: TCP/IP printing to PC printers

["Michael Kenney"<kenney@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not sure about  *IPDS print strings, but we are printing special forms
with a third party form vendor without any problems. The vendor uses
standard PCL5 printing language. One of the printers has a  direct  network
connection, while the other goes through NOVEL print server  using FLEXIP.
