    I am trying to load a MICR font as well as some PCL code to print laser checks. However I'm trying to do some testing with an Officejet 7300 AIO which I believe should understand PCL code.

    I can print from Windows to the networked printer via its share on the Mac side but sending commands such as the following has no effect:

    Code:
    copy /b signature.bin lpt1
    I've even redirected the output to a file via "Devices -> Parallel 1 -> Connect Output File" and all the code is being outputted to the file, so I'm assuming it is being sent to the printer. Any ideas of what could be wrong?
