Good. This is what I needed to see.

No problem. I converted them and copies are attached. The d1 directory
contains the test page request. The d2 directory contains the request to
print (I presume) config.sys. Refer to the ipformat.fmt files. In this
case IPFormatToText by design hides some useful binary data.

Note the difference between d1\ipformat.fmt packet #33 and d2\ipformat.fmt
packet #31. For some reason, no printer data was sent to the printer.

How did you request the printout? From the command line to directly to
lpt1? If so, this may be your problem. IIRC, the C60 does not support
text mode printing. Have you tried printing from a GUI viewer/editor?
