Check out my comprehensive article at http://dreael.catty.ch/Deutsch/BASIC-Knowhow-Ecke/BildschirmHardcopy.... Note: Use http://babelfish.altavista.com/ to translate the German text. Short summary: There was a DOS command called GRAPHICS early which enables the <PrtScreen> key to print graphics correctly. Main problem is that the list of supported printer ist very obsolete (state of more than 10 year ago!). What kind of printer are you using? A classic old dot printer on the parallel port, ESC/P2 compatible, or one of these todays cheap USB connected Windows GDI printers? In the latter case, a solution like http://www.dosprint.com/ might be helpful. Andreas

co.. #3 / 7	stupid qbasic question AFAIK, you'll need the DOS GRAPHICS command. It's a TSR that needs to be loaded before you run the program that you'll be printing from. I don't think it ships with Windud, but the older versions should work with it. Let me know if you cannot find a copy and I'll email it and the GRAPHICS.PRO (required) files to you.

co.. #4 / 7	stupid qbasic question The version of Graphics that shipped with dos 6 (I think) uses a graphics.pro file, so you could define new printers. It's a royal pain, but I've done it. The aspect ratio for the deskjet series that shipped wasn't 'square', so I had to jigger it for our engineering dept.

If I plug this printer to my parallel port and work from a dos environment, can I get it to work then? thx. again Danny - Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Quote: > > A classic old dot printer on the > > parallel port, ESC/P2 compatible, or one of these todays cheap USB connected > > Windows GDI printers?

So you should GRAPHICS get working with that printer... :-) I early used an Epson LX 800 printer, too, and it worked like a charm with all DOS applications... :-)) Andreas
