    Auto printing line of text to LPT1 as received.

    Well once I added the raw line it did print just one line but over each other. I only saw it print two or three times. I did not watch if it would have printed over itself more.

    Thanks Knob for the reply. Unfortunately I am not familair with scripts so I need to ask you again. Do I create/name this script in Aspect editor? if so then do I have to place it somwhere to run properly so it prints every line as it comes in. Apologize for the lack of knowlege with scripts...

    The Old PC has Procomm 2 installed on it and it is used as a secure card reader. Basically logging card use.
