Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
SYMPTOM(s):
Attempting to output data from Progress to a GDI printer.
The data does not even get sent to the printer spool.
Progress cannot output data via GDI.
CAUSE:
GDI (Graphical Device Interface) is an API developed by Microsoft that most Windows applications use to display images on a monitor. GDI printers only accept Windows GDI commands. They are not accessible via a published standard protocol, like the standard printer languages PostScript, ESC/P, and HP PCL. They are exclusively accessible via a proprietary protocol.
FIX:
Ask the printer's manufacturer to provide the printer with a standard printer language support.
