I have an idea, Why don't we send George Steinbrenner far, far away from New York.
Please let me know what printers do you have available to you? Are any of them configured with an HTML Interpreter? I think Lexmark is now supplying some lasers with HTML, but I'm not sure.
Let's start with a real easy test. Start a MS Command line. Change the directory to the file's directory, please. Now, I would like you to start the MS line editor.
Type: edlin filename.extension /p
You should see the first page of the raw file displayed. Look at the file and tell me whether or not you see any HTML tags in the file. Press the <enter> button to display the next page. Keep going until you reach a section where you know for sure the Hyper Text was appearing in the printed page. If you don't see the HTML tags in the "edlin" dump of the file, then more then likely, your driver setup has been prefigured to send the data to the printer in HTML format. Oh by the way, if you do try using edlin, I believe that you use the letter "e" (no quotes) at the cursor and press <enter> to exit the line editor.
If you have a "Hex editor" use that instead of edlin it is much simpler. I use Hexedit. I think you can still get it from
Tucows Download site > Hexeditors. The nice thing about Tucows.com is that it gets lots of freeware code and shareware applications, most of which allow you to download a trial version at no charge.
Let me know how it goes.
