Harold,
If you or someone else can pay for it, Print Wizard will do the job plus a lot more. If this isn't an option, then a couple of observations about the code the other person give you. I have been working to get a full page overlay to print. To create the overlay image, I setup a printer in Windows using an HP PCL-5 generic driver and printed the pdf form to a file. Do not use a pcl-6 driver as it's output is very different. As HTH said, the resulting file needs the trailing reset (ESCAPE E) and other stuff removed. A hex editor works best for this. To read the image into Universe, use READBLK instead of READSEQ, just use a big number for the ending byte position. It will ignore line feeds, attribute marks, etc. One PRINT statement will print the whole form/logo. Also, I had to use cursor positioning commands to set the starting position for the data following the printing of the overlay. Without these, I was getting the form on one page and the data on the next. You may contact me directly if you want. donr_work at yahoo.com Don ________________________________ From: "iggch...@comcast.net" <iggch...@comcast.net> To: U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Mon, May 10, 2010 3:20:46 PM Subject: Re: [U2] Printing images A long time ago, someone shared a way of doing this. Here is what I can recollect... * Create BitMap image * Place image On a document in desired position (ie msword) * Create a new print to File printer using HP PCL type driver * Print document * Using a hex editor, delete last x number of characters * Determine x by starting at the end and locating *rB. Everything * after that is printer reset string. (<esc>E<esc>%-12345X...) * Save image file from the previous step to a directory accessible from your program * Open and print each line from previous step * sourcepath='/blablabla/':LOGO.ID * openseq sourcepath to file then * loop * readseq line from file else li...@am * until li...@am do * print line * repeat * closeseq file * end Pretty rough but I remember that it was functional.

For example by issuing CHAR(27):'(10U':CHAR(27):'(s1p09v0s6b16602T' in front of text the printing is Arial 9 bold. However, I have been unable to figure out how to print images from within Universe. Something to do with 'bit map', but I can't seem to get it. I have a file containing JPG format images. I can copy a record from this file to a windows directory and easily display the image using windows tools. But, how to get the same binary sent to a printer and print that image? Has anyone been able to do this? Thanks! Harold Harold D.
