>I wonder if anyone can help. I have a problem in that I've created a small utility to print a report that I need to print on a text (dos) printer. The utility is written in Fox 5. I can print from a dos prompt to the printer (when I type "echo hello > lpt1"). I would be grateful for any suggestions.

There should not really be any problem with that... you just need to print to the printer like normal.

You may want to make sure the printer on your computer (Windows) is pointing to the LPT port.
