[Samantha] | Thanks Tim. I didn't realize it would be so difficult. | S Strictly, if all you want to do is print text and you have mapped LPTx: to some printer (local or network) then the venerable "PRINT <filename>" or "COPY <filename> LPTx:" may well be what you want. You can issue these via an os.system call from within Python, and if that serves the purpose, well...
<code> import os f = open ("temp.txt", "w") f.write ("""I must go down to the sea again, To the lonely sea and the sky. And all I ask is a tall ship And a star to steer her by. """) f.close () os.system ("print temp.txt") </code> TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
