Larry: You are correct: Zip cmd /c copy filename lpt1 from inside R:Base was exactly the same as Copy filename lpt1 from the CMD prompt
However; you have to make sure that you are capturing LPT1, otherwise it will just create a file named LPT1. Make sure that you have captured the printer as LPT1 as per my previous post.

Is that not so? If not, what should I type from the command prompt? I don't want to be running R:Base, just Start | Run | CMD.EXE. -- Larry
