The latest version of jBASE is v5.2.
It is a full 64 bit implementation so will require a 64 but version of
windows (Win 2008 64 bit?).
Depending on what you are actually going to do, you may or may not need
to upgrade. If you are doing basic stuff (databasic code and
straightforward jQL) then you may not notice the difference.
Having said that, it may be worthwhile having the latest and greatest
version to work with.
As far as printing goes, there are several solutions - in jBASE 3.4
there is wlp which allows prints to be spooled to a windows printer
(including the "GDI" ones that jbase normally won't support). I think
PrintWizard does a similar job too (Tony Gravagno will be the expert on
that one I think).
You don't give enough info as to what you are going to do to be able to
suggest the best way for you to proceed.
I don't know if jBASE do a free download for eval these days - I'd hope
they would do.
Hope this helps

Good Morning all:
I am an old retired Jbase guy, and am thinking about reviving some of
my work by re-writing.
I am still using 3.x on Windows XP pro. Should I look at upgrading
before starting my new career? If so, is jbase as a single user still
available as a free download for evaluation? What is the current
version ? Sorry for such dumb questions, but I've been away for about
6 years and I know things have changed.
Also, some previous posts indicated that one of you uses an
application that lets you use any standard windows printer with
jbase. Can you fill me in. I have always just used laser printers or
dotmatrix (now a dead horse). Lasers have to be hp-III or higher
compatible.
