Control codes sent to printer

[n8jbrown]

Anyone know of a way to capture all code sent to a printer and output to a text file?

Mmm... Print to Text File, through the drivers....

I wonder if redir lpt1: >> text.file would work...... I don't know if XP even still *has* a redir command... lol

Let me think on it.

Google search for "print to file". Several pop up.

I would use WireShark (Ethereal) to capture the stream actually going to the printer. That way you get the exact PS/PCL codes that printer responds to.
