Dear All,

I've written program to print text to lpt1 reading a text file, defining the font via hp's pcl, and putting the text out, to let a printer have 132 collumn printouts...

it will not run on a co-workers's computer.. I've tried the Printer.pm, and one other thing from Active state to no avail.

Any ideas?

I'll put the code after the sig..

if you're using windows XP or even Server (I think) you can use the command net use to bind the lpt1 printer port to a network address.

net use lpt1 //computername/

net use lpt1 //192.168.0.10/
