Dear Expert,
    My company recently purchase ERP system which is running Oracle DB\app
in some HP UX box. I am responsible to prepare printing devices for the ERP
report. I setup a windows 2003 Server as spooler, enable Unix printing and
add all the respective printers to the windows spooler. There are two type
of printers for the report 1) Laserjet (HP) and 2) dot-matrix (Epson). All
of the printers are connected to network via HP jet direct. All the UX boxes
can print to these printers.
    After some report testing, I found that the laserjet printing has no
problem at all. However the print out from Epson printers do not follow the
format from the UX. It seems like the windows spooler reject the printing
control code from the UX and print just text. We have tested with printing
direct to the HP jetdirect and the result seems fine. Company have decided
to configure direct printing method for the moment. In spite of, we
encountered another type of problem with print direct, because without
spooler the printing tend to be slower, not organize and very hard to
maintain the print job. For the reason, we are still looking for a way that
UX can print to the Epson printers that is connected to Windows spooler
without rejecting or modifying the format of the printout.
    Anyone have the same experience and solution please give me advise.
thanks
