I'm trying to setup a form that will be executed on the printer (no Watch involved) and am having trouble with the source.

In this application, a Customer Invoice is generated as a html page with div elements. When I print to a Generic / Text Only driver, words are broken up on multiple lines with a CR character and a whole slew of SPACE characters. I have not been able to find a way to normalize this data.

Has anyone worked with this before or have any guidance in making this data useful? I'm thinking I may have to output the html page to a PDF first, then use the PDF as the input data. Would prefer not to have to use the PDF scenario however.

Adam,
If you cannot stabilize the data, then converting to another format (Winqueue input to PDF??) is appropriate.
