Ah, yes . . . the DOS method. I hope not to have to resort to this. Printer selection and direction is still a problem in modern networked offices. It used to be easy with local printers. In addition, you still have the issue of defining the printer. You need a DOS driver to addres issues like font selection and page length etc.

Thanks for your reply.
