Marcos,

Have you tried setting the printer up as raw and trying our FGL demo?

If the printer doesn't support FGL and you are forced to use the HP driver, it should work, but we don't have a PCL code example, so you may choose to use the Pixel printing options.

Here are some FGL samples, which I've copied out of the Boca programming examples:

FGL command are printed like if they were normal text?

Did you use the raw driver?

MacOS: https://qz.io/wiki/setting-up-a-raw-printer-in-osx

We have a BOCA printer but we're just starting to test commands against it. Lite will chime in shortly with some feedback.

Tres, I have created a raw printer with the procedure that you tell me and it is working now. I will continue making test from QZ and I will tell you the results.

Thank you very much, Tress.

Best regards,

Marcos Mejia.
