***If this site is not appropriate for my question, then a kind recommendation to a more suitable one would be much appreciated!***
I'm trying to adapt an inkjet printer to print directly on a blank copper PC board. (nothing new here I'm sure!) Anyway, I'd like to try and get some more detailed control over how the printer behaves. Specifically, I'd like to try and get the printer to just start printing immediately without going through its paper feed/load sequence. The printer is a HP ENVY 5530. I know a 'little' bit about Visual Basic programming and at least am aware of the PCL printing language although I don't know the commands or how/where I would apply them. I just need some basic explanation on how to 'intervene' with the print driver to make the printer do a few basic that it wouldn't otherwise do.
Thanks.
