Hi, I have a "HP LaserJet 4050 TN" on which some PlanetPress 2 & 3 documents are implemented.

I use a XML header for PPWatch, which is at the beginning of the file. Ex.:
Code:
%!PS-Adobe
(DOC) run DOC

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<DOCUMENT ID="DOC" VERSION="01">
   <INFOS-TRANSMISSION>
      <MODE-TRANSMISSION>PRINTER</MODE-TRANSMISSION>
      <PPWATCH-DEST>default</PPWATCH-DEST>
      <PPWATCH-CC/>
      <PPWATCH-CCI/>
      <PPWATCH-SUBJECT/>
      <PPWATCH-BODY/>
   </INFOS-TRANSMISSION>
</DOCUMENT>

LABEL1              vALUE1
LABEL2              vALUE2
LABEL3              vALUE3
LABEL4              vALUE4
LABEL5              vALUE5
When I send this to the printer, the file is printed as is.

But if I remove the XML part of the file, the document prints correctly. Ex.:

Code:
%!PS-Adobe
(DOC) run DOC


LABEL1              vALUE1
LABEL2              vALUE2
LABEL3              vALUE3
LABEL4              vALUE4
LABEL5              vALUE5
Why is the XML not able to go trough the printer correctly ?

Thanks for help

In the configuration of the PrinterQueue, I needed to add a "Universal_enter_postscript" command. It is now working correctly.

Thanks to PP Care support !

Hi,
just to provide a bit of clarity.
A printer as 3 modes: AUTO, PCL, PS
Usualy printers are set in auto mode. This means that the printer will sniff the data as it is read and it then tries to associate the proper mode to the read data. To make sure this does not happen use the universal trigger, this trigger tells the printer to use the PS mode for the entire job and to stop sniffing the data.

Regards
