Have I heard correctly that PB DOs 3.5
has added a USP port print command in addition to LPRINT??
ThanX.

Nope. Can't get from here to there under DOS. Download the eval
version of Lance's DosPrint and try that.
I usually just print info to a disk file and bring it up under
WordPad or something else like that and print it out from there.

If my flag offends you, I'll help you pack. -
The DOS operating system does not support USB ports or
FireWire ports so PB/DOS is not able to utilize them.
The best/easiest solution is the PowerBASIC Console Compiler
for Windows (PB/CC). PB/CC creates true 32-bit Windows
applications that run in the Console window (DOS box) that
look like DOS programs. It programs very much like PB/DOS.
You'll need to make small changes to your existing code, but
nothing you won't be able to handle easily. You can read
more about this great and affordable compiler on our web site
( http://www.powerbasic.com/products/pbcc ). The complete PB/CC
manual is available on line at
http://www.powerbasic.com/support/help/pbcc/index.htm .
See the XPRINT statements to see how the printing works
(pretty much just like LPRINT - only with a lot more
possibilities!).
If you have questions after looking over the product
information, drop an email to mailto:[email protected][email protected]</A> and
we'll be happy to help you.

If you do not work in a Windows DOS Box, you can also use my DosUHCI driver to print to an USB printer. The package includes a printer driver which installs as a PRNUSB: device. A LPT1: version of the driver is available on request.
