| 19 | PASSTHROUGH | Sends data directly to a printer driver in compatibility mode or GDI-centric mode. | |
| 20 | GETTECHNOLOGY | For non-XPSDrv printers: Reports on whether or not the driver is a Postscript driver. For XPSDrv printers: Reports on whether or not the driver is the Microsoft XPS Document Converter (MXDC). If it is, the escape returns the zero-terminated string “http://schemas.microsoft.com/xps/2005/06“. | |
| 25 | DRAWPATTERNRECT | Create a white, grayscale, or solid black rectangle by using the pattern and rule capabilities of Page Control Language. A grayscale is a gray pattern that contains a specific mixture of black and white pixels. | |
| 33 | EPSPRINTING | Indicate the start or end of EPS printing. The graphics device interface (GDI) intercepts this escape and translates it to a DDI call other than DrvEscape. The printer driver does not receive this escape. |
|
| 37 | POSTSCRIPT_DATA | Send data directly to a printer driver. This escape is identical to the PASSTHROUGH escape except that PostScript printer drivers support this escape in Windows NT 4.0 compatibility mode only. | |
| 38 | POSTSCRIPT_IGNORE | Suppress output. Only PostScript printer drivers in Windows NT 4.0 compatibility mode or in GDI-centric mode support this escape. PostScript printer drivers in PostScript-centric mode do not support this escape. |

| 4110 | OPENCHANNEL | The OPENCHANNEL escape will prevent the PostScript language printer driver from downloading a PostScript language header to the printer. | |
| 4111 | DOWNLOADHEADER | Download all of the procsets (that is, sets of PostScript procedures). | |
| 4112 | CLOSECHANNEL | ||
| 4115 | POSTSCRIPT_PASSTHROUGH | Send data directly to a PostScript printer driver in Windows NT 4.0 compatibility mode or PostScript-centric mode. PostScript printer drivers in GDI-centric mode do not support this escape. | |
| 4116 | ENCAPSULATED_POSTSCRIPT | Windows 2000/XP: Send Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) data to the printer. | |
| 4117 | POSTSCRIPT_IDENTIFY | NT5 pscript | Windows 2000/XP: Sets a PostScript driver to GDI-centric or PostScript-centric mode. |
| 4118 | POSTSCRIPT_INJECTION | NT5 pscript | Windows 2000/XP: Inserts a block of raw data in a PostScript job stream. |
| 4119 | CHECKJPEGFORMAT | Windows 2000/XP: Checks whether the printer supports a JPEG image. This escape produces a call to the DrvQueryDeviceSupport function. |
|
