Re: Report Printing

This is how I accomplish this in Win95:

-From Windows open/start an MS-Dos window
-Use the command:
  type filename > lpt1

lpt1 can actually be lpt2, etc. The key is, your chosen printer may need to
be "captured" to the port. This is done using the printer properties dialog
box (Start>Settings>Printers then File>Properties for selected printer).
Capture Printer Port is on the Details tab.

Greetings:

I am having a problem print an SQR generated report. The report file was
generated on an Unix(AIX 4 specifically)/Sybase platform and when printed in
that environment using "qprt" the report prints as expected on an HP
LaserJet III Si. When the file is FTP'ed to a Win98 platform all attempts to
print it on the same printer results in a print out that looks identical to
the print file, i.e., the command/escape strings in the print file are
printed  instead of being used to format the output on the printer. How do I
get this print file to print from the Win98 environment with the
command/escape strings being used to format the printer output.

Thanks!
