When creating text-mode reports, I recommend the following:

1) Create a text-file, either with "?/??", or with "@...SAY".

2) For preview, use MODIFY COMMAND, RUN /N NotePad.exe, or some NotePad substitute. I currently use the user's default browser, which requires a little extra programming.

3) Send printer codes plus the text-report to the printer with "???".

HTH, Hilmar.
