| I sorely need to be able to print out documents. Is there a command to print? |

| You could try one of Kanati's solutions: http://www.blitzcoder.com/cgi-bin/showcase/showcase_showentry.pl?id=kanati02152002021704&comments=no http://www.blitzcoder.com/cgi-bin/showcase/showcase_showentry.pl?id=kanati886902282004191030&comments=no http://www.blitzcoder.com/cgi-bin/showcase/showcase_showentry.pl?id=kanati02182003222427&comments=no or ExecFile applications that have print switches:
ExecFile SystemProperty("windowsdir") + " mspaint.exe /P filename.bmp"
ExecFile SystemProperty("windowsdir") + " notepad.exe /P document.txt"

| There’s also the possibility of doing a Purebasic printer dll. I’m learning Purebasic at the moment and I’ll have a go at doing this. Good learning experience. |

| Watch it though... Fred doesn't like it when you simply wrap purebasic functionality into a dll for use with another language. But if you use the windows print spooler api then you can use pure pretty easily. Kanati |

| Yes I can see why he wouldn’t like that. Fair enough, won’t do that then. I'll have a look at your dll's that you were kind enough to release. |
