Try something like this: REBOL [ Name: 'Printer Title: "Printer" File: %"Printer.r" Author: "Andrew Martin" eMail: [Al--Bri--xtra--co--nz] Date: 27/Sep/2001 Example: [ Printer "This goes to the printer!" Printer/Page "This prints this line and feeds a page!" ] ] Printer: func [ "Sends text to printer on //prn." [catch] Text [string!] "The text to be printed." /Page "Append Carriage Return (CR) and Page Feed." ][ throw-on-error [ secure [ %//prn [allow write] ] write %//prn Text if Page [write/binary %//prn "^(0D)^(page)"] Text ] ] ] It works OK on Windows PCs. For other computers, you might have to change the %//PRN to something else. Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://valley.150m.com/
