My printer is a local HP laserjet MP6 called HPL6 on port LPT1: simple minded as I am I believed that Open( PrintFile, Out_File, "LPT1:" ); or Open( .... "\HPL6" ); Anyone already dit it ? what is the printer name to use in the Text_io.Open statement ? Many thanks for help (or I'm gonna clash a neuron) VMO (When the printer is remote on a server, a name like "\\ServerName\PrinterName" works. But on a local machine called KALINDA with printer HPL6, "\\KALINDA\HPL6 does not work". What a hell this vindoz ! ) -- vincent.morin@univ-brest.fr Laboratoire de Biostatistiques et Informatique M�dicale 22 Avenue Camille Desmoulins 29285 Brest cedex
