- We never had any problem with this kind of setup, however.
- Get your printer docs. Look at the PRD file description(s)
- At the beginning there is a comment on how to set certain fields in
- the PRD file. One of them says 'sent ini file with each job'.
- Convert yr PRD file to an ASCII TXT file using MAKEPRD.EXE.
- Just look at the settings with any editor. Correct if needed.
- DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE NOR SAVE THE FILE IN ANY FANCY WAY !
- Convert back fr txt to PRD. Things should work now.
- If not mail me, if you have an ftp site I could try to ftp you our
- PS files (ini & prd).
- Good luck !
