Visual Basic, Printing Directly to LPT1 avoiding the printer object.

Printing Directly to LPT1 avoiding the printer object.

Author	Message
Noel Simpso #1 / 4	Printing Directly to LPT1 avoiding the printer object. Does anyone know how to print directly to lpt1 (or another port) without going through the printer object? Installing a generic text only printer is not an option as it causes a printing problem with another application the prints directly to lpt1. Thanks Noel

LPrint may not be supported under Win9x or VBW5 plus though. Open "Lpt1" for output as #1 is nearly default. You are going to go make me dig up my old Quick Basic 4.5 books aren't you? Open "Prn" for output as #1 may also work. Quote: >PRINT #filnum, stuff$ >CLOSE filnum You could just use Close. Quote: >Luck, >Joe

Note that it is "LPTx" without a colon not like QBasic's "LPTx:")
