>>I've even tried setting up a report form to print from within FPW, but it prints out the printer control codes on the first line, as well as a little square at the beginning of each line. Printing from outside FPW, while within Win 95, the printer control codes are usually printed and ignored.

>I've done two utilities for things like this - one prints the text file, sending it in chunks to the printer (2K or other size, configurable), by low-level reading the file. The other substitutes ESC/P control codes for PCL control codes, just in cases where the text contains the control codes for the dot-matrix printer and needs to be printed on a laser. The result is not perfect (it all prints in bloody Courier), but it works.
