Printing DOS progs from XP

[pebe]

A friend of mine uses a compiled qbasic speadsheet, commercially. Using Windows95 all was OK.

His computer died. Thought it was time for a new one.
The shop sold him a new one with Windows XP.

Result - only half his spreadsheet results print out.

Back to shop (big national chain) - no joy - no interest.

Anyone any ideas? I've posted this on an XP forum but so far there have been no replies. Matter now urgent!

i found that you can send data to the printer directly using OUT instead of using Lprint but the search is just beggining.

Perhaps timing issues is the problem. Check the
[shadow=red,left,300]MODE  /? [/shadow] How to change timing On COM or LPT  ports.

Thanks Ziggi,

I'll pass your info to my friend. As soon as he gets back to me I'll let you know the outcome.
