>That's pretty much what we are doing, although I didn't realize the no header/footer part. We accomplished that by accident. Basically, we used to just send the data straight out the port, but to fix various problems such as multiple people printing to the same printer at the same time, and of course trying to actually hit the printer port under Windows NT, we are just sending it to an alt file, and then pulling the alt file into a temp database and printing a report which just has one field to display each line. We managed to get it working using a generic text only driver.

One thing I don't understand,
Why are you sending report to file, to be pooled into something,
and then sent directly to the port ? Why dont you simple
flush report to printer spooler and let it do it's job?
