woo hoo! that worked.. kinda. I got the correct print test, i.e.
!"#$%&'()*+,-./01234
"#$%&'()*+,-./012345
#$%&'()*+,-./0123456
$%&'()*+,-./01234567
%&'()*+,-./012345678
but I got a page of gibberish before that page printed.. ;)
actually, I think it was the header page. I saw where to disable that
somewhere..
thanks for the help.
regards,
Jason
