I have tried several approaches ranging from using the highest level printing interface, using the printer driver routines to stream text to the printer, using the base level device driver routines to talk to the printer port, etc. Anyway, nothing seems to work...not so much as a character makes it to the printer. Help!.... What is the secret? In despiration, Tom Milligan ...decvax!tektools!tektronix!tomm
