Hi Chris, > I'll give "printq" a try and see what happens Hmmm I only found a 6/2000 version on the page, which is described as being from Dr Dobbs and being a user interface for PRINT. It tries to highly portable (various DOS compilers) and seems to be "1991 by Robert Mashlan, Public Domain".

I got the MS "Print" to load in FreeDOS by using CALLVER but couldn't do a test print from a nasty paper jam that I'll clear tomorrow. I'll let you know. My only concern is the license issue ... I'm using this in a commercial environment. Nobody would probably know that we're using a non-Fre
