> Sub PrintTxt ( Puerto as string, Texto as string)
> 'Rem normal use is Open "LPT1:" for Output as #1
> Open puerto for Output as #1
> Print #1, texto
> Close #1
> Exit sub
> End Sub

> If use Win98SE you can capture any port like Set LPT2: =
\\server\epsonTM88
> On win2k and winXP we haven't (i don't know if it's possible)
