Re: Printing via IP loses fonts

Hi Dwayne,

I need the WSCST source to have a look at, maybe I can help you.
You can send it to my private EMail (see below).
How are the printers DEVD's ? send CFG OBJ, too.

I had some trouble with AXIS boxes, they insist on having a so called
"reverse telnet port" to be defined in their setup.
Which AXIS pox type do you use, I've got the 640's.

Regards from germany, Philipp Rusch
