RE: Printing confusion

["Don Cavaiani" <dcavaiani@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I like that idea Carl.  Are there any tried and true and accepted steps
to follow to get a form properly uploaded and set up as an overlay?

Don, have you already bought the cut sheet forms?
Printing to lasers from tractor fed is always a PITA.  I have a WSCST
that may help.  As long as you are converting this process, why no
create a form overlay and do without the special form and have the laser
printer do all the work and print on regular paper?

Also, you say this is using CA emulation.  Have you tried to connect the
printer directly using IP with a HP direct card or a print server?

The 90 rotation put the horizontal right on!  The vertical starts about
4 lines LOWER.

THANKS!

I think if you set ROTATE to 90, it will print okay.
