The spool will contain the sysout as generated
( and certainly images, logos, signature will look like garbage )
the only way to check is to look at the real output on the proper printer |

| good chance the '..L¿ö...'. is the necessary hex configuration for the image to be printed on a printer that will print images. Is that what you are testing on? |

Hello,
If you expand the "garbage" into hex, you should see "escape sequences" that "program" the printer.
If you post the hex, i may be able to decipher some of it (been a long time since i had to program an HP LaserJet to do what your code does. . .). Hopefully, your code is using PCL rather than PostScript. |

I do work in a similar kind of application. The image name will be hardcoded in the program or read from the file.
But the actual image needs to be loaded into the Printer, when printing this document the image Id gets mapped with the actual image in the printer and Print. |
