Hi All :

A tricky problem with my printer.

As part of the EURO project being done by me , a txt file is created in a
process. This file is written to the LPT port and this is spooled to a HP
laser printer.This file has EURO symbols.The software generating the file is
EURO compliant and I can see the EURO symbol being generated.

When the file is written to the LPT port, I can see the instruction to the
printer. The EURO symbol has got an ASCII value of 128.When I debug the flat
file , I can see '80' (128 in HEXA) for the EURO symbol.But , the prointer
prints some freak character.

Also , what is the relation between WINDOWS,MS-WORD and the PRINTER , as
regards recognising the EURO symbol.


TIA
Cheers
Lig
