Printer and Computer Net work

[niels olsen]

I am working on programme for a client. He has to use the programme for selecting electrical gear motor out from specifications. The programme contains data for around 2000 motors. For each motor there are 12 spefications.
There has no problems in making the programme, and it works fine on a stand-alone computer.
For printing the stand-alone computer the programme has to have:
OPEN "LPT1:" FOR OUTPUT AS #1
PRIN #1, . . .
.
.
PRINT CHR$(13): CLOSE #1: END
But what do write when the computer is a net work computer? The programme has only to work on one of his computers.
The printer is a HP Laser Jet Pro MFP M127fn.
The IP-adress is: 10.0.0.196, and port is 9100 raw.

I am looking foward seeing something smart, thanking you
am remain yours sincerely

For this to work, you'll have to use (include) a Network-Library into the program.
See the section titled "Libraries" ...

No, its probably still there, but only "inside" your "user profile". Log yourself "in" and check it out.
