Hi All,
I'm new to using XP Professional, I use LPT1 and have HP DeskJet 720C. I've
read all the posts here. After many unsuccessful efforts to install XP
driver, it did...I think, but it prints ASCII characters on one or two lines
page after page even though it's only a 15 character sentence. I think I
have figured it out, but before tinkering with the Registry, I want opinions
since it means editing the registry.
Going to the registry folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Print\Printers\HP
DeskJet 720C
In the folder, the right panel shows Name, Type and Data. In the Date is
says RAW. I believe that is why it prints ASCII characters. I can right
click to modify, but need input here.... do I replace RAW with text??? Is
there anything else I should change? Of course, the mandatory backup
before any attempts to mess with Mr. Bill's mess is a given. ;-)
TIA
