Word Automation and PCL Codes

I am creating a word document on the fly and I am trying to use the Word Print field to send PCL code to the printer. However, when I try this the printer does not seem to respond to the codes that are sent. If I manually modify the document that was created through my automation process, it also does not work. If I create a brand new document and send it the printer commands, it works perfectly. So I think it is an issue with the document I am creating.

Has anyone run into this before?

Here is the code I use to create the print field:

VB Code:

m_App.Selection.Fields.Add(Range:=m_App.Selection.Range, Type:=Word.WdFieldType.wdFieldEmpty, Text:= _
                "PRINT 27""&l2S""", PreserveFormatting:=False)

And here is the code I use to create a new document:

VB Code:

Public Sub New()
            m_App = New Word.Application
            m_Doc = m_App.Documents.Add
        End Sub

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I have found that it looks like it has nothing to do with my code. It looks like that the print commands do not send properly when I have a header in the document.

Does anyone know how I can get the printer to receive my PCL commands if I have a header on my document?
