How to bypass the windows printer driver?

edited October 2001 in General
Hi,

Is there a way to redirect a ReportBuilder's report directly to the parallel port, bypassing the printer driver?

Thanks in advance,

    Marcos,
    and what would be the purpose?
    if you want to print directly to the printer (transparent mode)
    then you need a windows api function called Escape(...)
    do note that not all printer drivers support this function
    the Escape() func lets you dump anything you want to the printer without
    interpreting the content
