| Thanks to all who responded, but I'm still S.O.L.
|
| I installed the more recent Lexmark Z22 driver for XP.
| I set up lpd daemon on XPC, and used that instead of VisionFS.
| I set raw, I set text, I set this'n and that'n.
|
| The end result is the same. I can send plain text files to the Lexmark

| PCL code, or printing nothing at all. Progress backwards...

This is getting beyond my wife's printer problem now.

I have a customer with several printers (Epson and HP) plugged in to the
parallel ports of Windows98 machines. Many of the reports sent to them
(using VisionFS) use simple high-ASCII line-drawing characters for boxes,
and some of the reports aamy involve some font changes within the
documents. I can't get them to print properly through XP. Instead
of boxes, or vertical lines, I'm getting the high-Ascii characters that
were once handled easily on the console by undoing mapchan effects.
