RE: Default to printer drawer 3 in WSCST requires rocket science

["Dan Bale" <dbale@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

woo-woo.  THANKS! That did it Paul.  Quite a sleuth, eh?

I did a simple test to print to file.  I opened up WordPad, typed in some
stuff, clicked on "Print to File", tabbed over to select tray 3, clicked on
Print.  I opened up the text file (copied below) that was "printed to", and
saw nothing that resembled the x'1B266C'.  Probably converted to symbols.
What do you use to interrogate this file?

Also, do you have a Savin 9935 mfp?  If not, how where you able to specify
it as your printer?

Now all I have to do is get rid of the stapling.

Obviously, not all of the symbols survive the cut & paste to this post.
