Hi,


In Windows 95, 98 & Me, I can send raw text directly to a Generic/Text Only
Windows printer using TPrinter but this doesn't work in XP & 2000.  Does
anyone know of a solution to this?

If I can't use TPrinter to print, does anyone know how to find out the port
name from a Windows printer?  I tried TPrinter::GetPrinter() but I got junk
except for ADevice.  I also tried GetPrinter() but I just got blank strings
for the strings in PRINTER_INFO_2.

Thanks,
Albert
