Printer Only Printing First Line
Hi all,
I've got this issue which has me stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Printers which i have added through SAM, as remote printers with their IP address, only print the first line.
Any text file is sent through to the printer only prints the very first line of the file, and the rest is blank.
How do i fix this?
Cheers
