have seen examples that indicated you could specify a printer name
in the STRTOFILE command and send a string to the specified printer.

i tried the following, but instead of sending the output to the
selected printer, the output was sent to a file (in the current
directory). of course the filename is the name of the
printer that i specified.

lc_Printer_Name = ALLTRIM(GETPRINTER())
lc_File_Contents = FILETOSTR(lc_Source_File_Spec)
ln_Chars = STRTOFILE( lc_File_Contents , lc_Printer_Name , .T. )

how can i get it to go to the printer ?
