I am getting a printer error.

Printer errors, especially those in the 5000 range, usually indicate that we are sending data to the printer that the printer cannot understand. A good example would be sending PCL codes to a non-PCL printer or sending Okidata escape sequences to an H/P Laserjet, or sending raw data to a Windows-only-printer.

By default, the Print Wizard engine will determine if the file contains printer-specific escape sequences and then try to send the data in either spooler or raw print level. Many Windows-only printers cannot accept raw data and this will cause a printer error.

Likewise, if Print Wizard determines the file has Okidata escape sequences in the data stream, and you try to print it on an H/P Laserjet, the printer driver will generate an error.
