set printer to &splfile
set printer on
set device to print


?'Hi'

set printer off
set printer to

A little workaround
!notepad c:\mydir\report.txt

This will allow you to select any windows printer and to print the report

 

[DSummZZZ]

Try changing this line:
set printer on

TO THIS THEN:
set printer on prompt

jpbhatt,
i prefer
!cmd /c copy report.txt lpt1 /b

The advantage of using Notepad or Wordpad to print the file is that it has its own print dialog for the user, and can print to USB ports and network printers with a simplicity that FPD or cmd cannot match

cricket,
i agree,
but if i use PCL code built-in report, pads ignore it,
copy /b respect it.

I guess you want to format the output.

splfile = 'report.txt'

set device to print
set printer to splfile && no need for $ sign

@ Prow(),Pcol() say 'Hi' &&& Just add P to the function

set device to screen
set printer to
set printer to && May add this as well

will format the output.

Try it
