    There is a bit on the LPT1 port you will need to make high.
    This tells the PC there is something out there.
    Then you can print the the port.
    Use a RS232 break-out box

    To change bits, loomat my ASCII table....
    Alpha Micro: Alpha Basic, AS400 V5r2, EDI (Trusted Link/ Inovis.com),Access AS/400 via VB6, Qbasic for data conversions. A mix of Hardware too.

    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
