Hi,

I am trying to send escape codes to a printer (HP Laserjet 3330) in a
Crystal Report.
However Crystal Reports' Techknowledge article # c2011288 says:

"Crystal Reports sends data to the printer in a per page format. This
feature is by design. Escape codes require a per line data transfer to read
the escape codes. Therefore, CR does not support printer escape codes. "

I have heard that image files can embed printer escape codes as part of the
image.
MS KB q96795 discusses sending passthrough escape codes and has an example
of this.
I know that developers can create custom functions as a type of dll that
crystal can use
so I am wondering if I can use this method to pass through excape codes.

I would be content (at least for now, heh heh! ) to send escape codes at the
start/before start of each page. I have been trying to find a way to
interleave printing to emulate a 3-part form where I can pull copy 1 from
tray1, copy2 from tray2. This will also allow me to store checks in a
specific tray...

It is one of those minor annoyances that just keeps buzzing about in my
head. It would be so nice if I can make it go away. Thanks to all who can
provide any insight or comments.

Regards
Habib
