Hello John

set console off
set printer to (Printer)
set printer on
set device to printer

nRow=1
nCol=2
@ nRow, nCol SAY "HELLO WORLD"

nRow=nRow+1
@ nRow, nCol SAY "IT'S GOOD TO BE ALIVE."

set printer off
set printer to
set device to screen

********************************************
Some printer come with API, that you can use to control the printer.

It is interesting to me that you can use ?/?? instead of @ ...SAY. I don't know which is better.

I don't use the report generator because I think it's too cumbersome to work with in this case.

Hope this helps. good luck
