Gabriele, I agree that PDF is more easily multiplatform, but sometimes you need the output to go directly to the printer without any additional human intervention. It would be nice if Acrobat could be told via an external source (like REBOL) to print the current document. Additionally,

Hi Bo, It would be nice if Acrobat could be told via an external source (like REBOL) to print the current document. They don't make it easy, but it can be done. One catch is that it's tricky to get right because Acrobat doens't like printing silently if it's already running. Additionally,

Gregg, Your solution does return an apparently valid handle when I apply it to OpenPrinter, but StartDocPrinter still doesn't like it (returns a code of 6 which means invalid handle). Here's my script so far (beware of line-wrapping!): winspool: load/library %winspool.drv kernel32:

Hi Bo, ;hprinter is the handle that should be returned by 'openprinter above if I understand how 'openprinter works. I think you need to pass a buffer and then check that when the call returns. That's what I had to do to use the return connection ID from InternetDial. Here's the idea. I have
