I currently use the following:
set device to [textfile]
THEN use wordpad to Print the textfile
======================================
wordpad/b [textfile]
BUT
===
I need to use the maximum 80 characters width.
"wordpad/p [textfile], won't print 80 characters width, and I can't change left & right margins in DOS.
Anyone know any available DOS parameters to change default Left-Right MARGINS, etc??

Can Someone PLEASE help??
OR What is the best and easiest way to change my program so I can use it on any Computer with any Windows printer, that isn't DOS compatible.
THANKS To ALL Suggestions and Help.

HELP!!
Anyone know of the (DOS) Command-line parameters for Write or WordPad or Notepad?
 
Abee Labs produce an add-on for Clipper called PageScript. This allows you to print to any Windows printer, but you will need to adjust your program to use it.

I use the product and it is easy to adjust your programs.


Hope this helps.
