It seemed that bytes are lost if output is blocked due to a full printers input buffer. I've thought that this was an incompatibility between my USB-printer adapter and the printer because the adapter works with other printers. > I don't have time to hunt this down. If I find something and you have the time to test would be great, as it happened to me with a thermo transfer printer, where tests are expensive. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de ticso@bwct.de info@bwct.de
