Do I need to turn on raster printing?

Very confusing...

HP is getting worse and worse on just telling it how it is. Host based printing is the same as LIDIL which is NON-PCL. Yes you must turn on raster printing.

Raster printing would work fine for a user, but this is an office environment.  Should they find a different printer that prints using a PCL driver?

I would look for a PCL printer especially since the raster driver only emulated a simple line printer.

I tried turning on raster printing on this customer's machine, but I coud not find it.  The version of TCP-Pro is 5.1.19.  I did see a checkbox for RAW printing though.

Need to update to a newer version. Check the Pro version log in the general information section to find when raster printing was added.

Purchase a TCP.PRO update and do a user install and exit out when configwizard comes up you will be all set. The only time you can't do this is when the existing version is <5.0.81. In that case you need to update the license server first.
