Kirk, I use this since years: C_TEXT($1;$errText;$vt_pfad;$POSIXPath) $vt_pfad:=$1 If (Test path name($vt_pfad)=Is a document) If (Folder separator#":") $errText:=sys_ShellExecute ("print";$vt_pfad;"";"";1) DELAY PROCESS(Current process;60*5) If ($errText#"") ALERT("Error: "+$errText) End if Else $POSIXPath:=Replace string($vt_pfad;":";"/") LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS("lp \"/Volumes/"+$POSIXPath+"\"") End if Else ALERT("Document not found: "+$vt_pfad+" !")
