Sending Escape Commands to Printer (1 Viewer)

[taysan]

I need to send my HP printer some escape sequences during the printing of a report.

The goal is to be able to change paper trays during the printing of the report, depending on the report section being printed.

I am printing multi-page invoices and want to use a different type of paper for the first page of each one.

So, either sending good old PCL commands to the printer or finding a way to do it through Access (prtdevmode won't do it).

Thanks!
