I'm trying to print bitmaps files to a Laserjet via LPT1: and the image
gets all trashed. I'm wondering if LPT1: is only passing 7 bits, playing
with what it thinks are tabs, etc. I know the file is good because I can
print it to a Laserjet from a Unix system (serial interface) and it works
fine.

How can I get raw data through the parallel port?

Thanks,

Mat
