I didn't do anything different from what I was doing before. I load my
ancient HP LaserJet II printer file from 20 years ago, HPLJ-2P.PRN. To
print a file, I do TYF filename,X:\XY4\FO.TMP, then launch
PCLPRINT.BAT, located in the directory with vDos.exe, consisting of the
following lines:
rem PCLPRINT.BAT
@echo off
cd /d %~dp0
if exist PCLPRINT.PDF del/q PCLPRINT.PDF
pcl6.exe -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=PCLPRINT.PDF
"%1"
start SumatraPDF.exe PCLPRINT.PDF
exit
It's all automated, and works like a charm.
Here's a screen shot -- from SumatraPDF, not XyWrite. WYSIWYG rules.
