Woohoo! I love it when the bug belongs to someone else! :)

After a lot of testing it turns out this was a bug at the other end, I have
obtained a patch for it and now VFP sends the data fine.

Thanks Woody

The image is already converted to hex and the { symbol doesn't appear in it
... if I don't get any further today I will create an actual example to
demonstrate it better.  Although I am just considering going the Chilkat
route and sending the data via the socket and making a networked label
printer a minimum requirement for our customers.

Appreciate your input so far.

Regards

Chris.

Hi Chris,

I suspect that you have a "misbehaving char" in your hex data, something
like Ctrl-Z, which terminates the standard DOS copy process. 

If you need to transfer binary data to your printer, you could use this
routine here:

??? ChrTran(File2Str("yourPicture.jpg"), "{", "{{}")

Done a bit more testing and capture the print job it looks like it only
sends upto 16535 kB to the printer before it's then captured as a job? Make
any sense?
