Larry Now I must say I am not understanding your issue My understanding is this: Copy filename lpt1 works fine in win95,98,me (and of course in 7.1 of R:Base)
Zip cmd /c is needed in win2k and XP since otherwise the operating system does not know that it needs to copy to the printer So my best guess at this point! Try to rephrase your original question and se if the list can be of assistance (I can also add that me myself have found my self in similar position when there was no paper in the printer or the cable was lose or ...) but I take it for granted that you can print from windows environment!?!?)

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
