I use ? and ?? to prepare a text file. Things will NOT print directly to the printer, unless you give special commands.

Then, I load the file into memory (FileToStr()), and send it to the printer with ???.

The difference between ? and ?? is that ? will start a new line first.

I didn't have problems with ???, but if you do have problems, there is a download by Ed Rauh, that is supposed to solve those problems. Text gets printed through the Windows API.
