Hi and Help....

......
Here is the situation, recently they purchased new hp printers and now they use usb ports. This has complicated printing with qbasic because I can't get lpt1 to accept a usb port.

So I believe there is some code that you can use in order to assign the hp printer so that it will accept the data that my program has worked on.

The thing is that I have completely lost the set of commands that I need to perform this task. So any help would be appreciated.

As I recall there was a set of commands to assign the printer and then another set that would restore normal printer commands.

Quinn, until you find the set of commands to switch in/out from a USB printer, I suggest you do the following:
1) Modify your progam to write the print lines to a text file, instead of doing LPRINT.
2) Run the program.
3) Make sure your HP is the default printer.
4) Get into Notepad and open the above output text file.
5) Select PRINT from the "file" menu.

It looks like a lot of extra work, but it's really not bad.
