Printing to a networked non-postcript printer in Classic
Authored by: awkohr on Aug 11, '03 03:11:03PM
Try playing around with this.
I know some printers assume that if information is comming across a certain TCP/IP port# it assumes that it will be formated in a certain way. HP's older printers assume that LPR print jobs will be in the format of ASCII and will greek when you print some printer jobs. However on our campus we have appletalk print ques on a unix server that then push the jobs to the lpr port of the printer.

In some applications like quark or some versions of adobe acrobat you can set print using ASCII in the printer dialog box. However to enable this in more applications try loading Adobe's printer drive in the classic environment. with it you can set the output to be either ASCII or Binary. I would try both.
