It is quite possible that they simply do not have a printer hooked up to their computer's parallel port. If all of your printers are from network shares, then the special file "prn" will not go anywhere. Typing to "prn" is a dreadful way to do printing on Windows. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
