How to send PCL Commands to Remote Printers.

[Guest Simon White]

Hi

 

I have an application that sends PCL commands to an HP printer as part of

the print job however in Terminal Services these get printed as text using

universal print drivers like Uniprint or Print-IT.

 

Is there way to send PCL commands to remote printers under Terminal

Services?

Use the HP universal printer driver on your TS. This one works well.

Hi

 

I did try that and it did not work. The application usually talks directly

to the printer so it appears that the printer driver is not catching the

data. It works fine as long as the printer is connected to the Terminal

Server but not if the printer is at a remote site using the Internet.

Hi,

You can use virtual channel to develop a driver, your application will send

PCL command

to this driver and this driver will send to the printer.
