Printing to LPT2

[briano]

I still use money basic for my checkbook but now I have my printer on LPT2 because of a conflict with my scanner. How do I make Qbasic print to LPT2 instead of the default LTP1.
Thanks in Advance,

You won't use lprint anymore. To need to open the printer object as a file. Personally, I never use 'Lprint'.

printer = freefile
open "lpt2:" for output as #printer
print #printer, "This is printed on lpt2:"
print #printer, chr$(12);
close #printer

You can have a max of 3 printers this way.
