Colin,

In VFP 7.0 it would go like this

DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN Shell32;
  INTEGER hwnd, STRING @lpOperation,;
  STRING @lpFile, STRING @lpParameters,;
  STRING @lpDirectory, INTEGER nShowCmd
* lcfile is the file to print
lcfile = 'C:\mydir\mybmp.bmp'
lcop = 'print'
lcdir = JUSTPATH(lcfile)
= ShellExecute(_VFP.hWnd, @lcop, @lcfile, 0, @lcdir, 0)
