Hi,

Thank, I also know that the printer driver will interface with my command
using the ??.

Will look into your class to test it out.

>Because, when you send directly to the printer with "??", the Windows printer driver can interfere. That's why I suggest that you first write everything to a file, using ? and ??. Then, send everything to the printer, all at once, with ???.

>For printing in text-mode, perhaps my download #9991 can help you.
