    The most useful thing for many in VB or higher language would be to Out a byte to a printer port and bypass the windows spooler

    does someone have code somewhere to get this done safely
    probably to whichever port you desire (I think 3)

    Also how do you get a byte from the printer - to see if it is ready

    I don't have a library , but BIOS interrupt 17h has all of the print functions. Try that.
    "Can't" and "shouldn't" are two totally separate things.

    All questions should be answered. All answers should be true. That is why I post.
