Found a shareware program that works: http://www.dosprn.com/ It may not be ugly but it is homely. In UV you must first put the item to be printed in a .TXT file then: DOS copy drive:\filename.txt c:\prnspl EXIT In jBase you do not need the DOS and EXIT commands but you have to make sure that you are using the OS copy rather than the Pick copy. There are probably better methods but this kludge at least gets the stuff to a printer. Format is another story.

Hi Bob To work from D3 spooler there is an excellent product called Dosprn. The setup is well described on the D3 support site.

FWIW Windows XP Prof now supports printing to a windows printer - the cheapies - with a script or from the command line. Not sure when this happened but it is a feature that I am finding very useful. Of course I may be the only one who didn't know this. print /d:\\ServerName\ShareName C:\folder\some.txt Note that / means option and d means device not drive. Why the : after D? I have no idea, but it works for me. This seems to work on any networked printer that is running on a late version of XP Prof but I have not tried it on XP Home. There is a rain dance required with UV or jBase to make the mapped drives and printers work but most seem to know how to do that. BobJ |
