Hi
I am trying to print a bitmap through to a HP Laserjet PCL printer. I am able to read the bitmap into a byte array but am unable to print this byte array as raster data to the printer. I have tried different options to print to the printer but it either prints the decimal values of the byte array or prints a box with overwritten characters.

This  bitmap is a 32x32 of 2102bytes. I have been able to separate the header information from the raster data - 54Bytes (Header)+(4*256)(No. of Colors)+1024Bytes(raster data)=2102Bytes.

While sending this data to the PCL printer do I have to do some special processing to the header/main raster data before I send it to the printer.

I am trying to use the <Esc>*b#W escape sequence to send the raster data.
I think I need to use the <Esc>*b2M sequence but am not sure of the exact command structure.

Any suggestions would be graetly appreciated.

Thanks

Ashish

I am looking for the decimal conversion of the following codes:<BR>
Esc*r3U ESC*v1S for Red text<BR>
