Hi Bill, no, confusion. Ralf asked about "programming", not the Windows settings.
I referred to the Windows settings. Try right-clicking the printer, properties, "Advanced" or "Extended" or whatever (I can't tell, I've got a German Windows) and there you can disable the spooling. Nothing to do with "programming". I just MENTIONED that *I* had to do this to get my ESC/POS printer working, i.e. reacting on every byte sent without having to open and close the port all the time.
