Dear Alan,
Thanks for your reply. I have checked the windows spooler already, it is
set to RAW as the data type. I also have asked our Unix engineer, the
printer type selected in the UX for the dotmatric printers is Dump Terminal
Script, for variety of the HP laserjet printers HP lasrjet was selected. In
the windows spooler, printer driver follow the model of the printers.
thanks a lot
