Special Forums IP Networking Creating a printer emulator to capture PDL/PCL data coming in on port 9100. Post 302389134 by jgt on Friday 22nd of January 2010 06:40:43 PM

I would start by creating a PCL printer that prints to disk, then examine the disk file created to see if there is anything useful in it. I don't think you will find anything like a text file with one or two escape sequences at the beginning of it. You may be better off if you can create a generic/text only printer.
