DOES ANYONE HAS A SUGGESTION?

Hi Venado,

Additionally, you could try:

COPY FILE x.txt TO LPT1.DOS

or

COPY FILE x.txt TO PRN

Both achieve the same result, bypassing the windows print manager. Jon Hawkins

Or you could try opening the text file with low level commands and printing it line by line.
