Hi!
You can also try to use FileSystemObject.CopyFile method.

>We have a legacy system that we are currently re-designing. However, as a stop-gap measure, we began using the CopyFile API function for sending print jobs to Novell queues. Our print jobs are printed to file and a post-processing routine then takes the file and, using CopyFile, redirects it to the print queue on the Novell Server.

>However, just last week we ran into our first hang up. After a bit of sleuthing, we determined that the CopyFile function will not deal with files larger than 64k when used on a Win98 machine. We can print the exact same file from a 2000 machine, but trying from any 98 machine yeilds an error.

>Does anyone know of a workaround for this. We only have a few users at our site that deal with printouts that large but they still need their printouts all the same. (Have you ever tried to tell an accountant they can't have a general ledger report because it's too big?) 8?)
