Subject: RE: Printing from CF


Unfortunately it doesn't look like cf_avery is going to do what I need.  
(Thanks for the info, Adrian.)

So I thought about doing it by outputing the data to be printed to a file and 
have a .bat send the content to lpt1:

The batch file just contains:
type 1.txt >lpt1:

Sadly, I'm seeing nothing hit the printer.  Does anyone have any idea what the 
issue is here please?


Thanks,

Jenny
