As I said, may be that there is an already-made way to do the conversion - this implies that the characters in the printer are arranged in a standard way, and named something like CP-850, CP-851 or alike. You should check the manual, if you have it. By that way, if that CP-xxxx maps well to some ISO-8859-yyy, then there is some way to do the conversion; but I don't know how to do it from gambas - perhaps it has a function to make arbitrarily charset conversions, but this has also to do with the locales installed in your computer. I suppose your current locale, if not UTF-8, is ok, but it may differ from the charset of the printer. Making an own routine to make the conversion is straightforward, even if a little boring... I would make a quick check for conversion, and then write an easy conversion routine. Regards, -- Doriano Blengino "Listen twice before you speak.
