Hi all,
I am facing a really surprising problem while printing
some text from IE6.0 in XP using generic/text printer.
The content is symbols for a barcode printer which
includes ";". but when I print the page to a file using
generic/text driver, the semicolon is automatically
appended by 8 spaces. It should write exactly same
content as shown in browser. This is happening in some
systems. I dont know exactlyt where to start to fix the
problem. In same system, if I copy the content to notepad
and print to a file using generic/text printer, it is
coming fine. So guess, some problem with IE 6.0. Can any
one has any idea how to overcome such problem. The
content is as follows.

Actual content in browser.

~CREATE;L
LFORM6;36
ALPHA
CCW;33;6;2;2;*EDUN. SP S12345678C -V1*
CCW;33;12;2;2;*PETER SAM*
CCW;33;16;1;1;*DEPT II*
CCW;18;22;1;1;*06.06.1967*
STOP
BARCODE
C3/9;VSCAN;X1E;H8;15;32
*A000098*
PDF
STOP
END
~EXECUTE;L
~NORMAL

After printing to file from IE 6.0, it gives the output
as follows.

~CREATE ;L
LFORM6 ;36
ALPHA
CCW ;33 ;6 ;2 ;2 ;*EDUN
.. SP S12345678C -V1*
CCW ;33 ;12 ;2 ;2 ;*PET
ER SAM*
CCW ;33 ;16 ;1 ;1 ;*DEP
T II*
CCW ;18 ;22 ;1 ;1 ;*06.
06.1967*
STOP
BARCODE
C3/9 ;VSCAN ;X1E ;H8 ;15
;32
*A000098*
PDF
STOP
END
~EXECUTE ;L
~NORMAL

The generic driver probably uses a ";" as a tab and that is why you see
spaces. You say you are using IE6 to print but IE6 screens are not generated
by the text but what is generated by HTML text. That's why I don't quite
understand what you are saying.
