THose guys work well - even with a GETPRINTER() dialog. I hope fox retains those features (as well as @SAY), because there are some things that [simply] cannot be done without lowlevel access to the pinter.

??? is an inline method for sending control codes to the printer. It works with both set device to prin and set printer on.

THe ?? feature only works with SET PRINTER ON.
