Hello,
Is it possible to get a list of the printers avaiable in Windows and
to send a text file to them? My app generates PCL files that are being
sent to printers mapped to an LPT port but the LPT mappings are
unreliable. Thanks in advance.

Thanks! That's awesome. Now I am having trouble figuring out how to
send a .PCL file to a printer. I'm not seeing a method in the printer
object. TIA.

as i can say there is no "specical" Method to print ESC-Sequenze or PCL6
it is "build-in" Printer to "understand" ESC-Sequenze or PCL6

ESC-Sequenze was use by "Dot matrix printer " while almost every
Laser-Printer "understand" PCL6

i have a HP Laserjet 2055Dn but not installed any Driver so Windows 10 have
itself installed

Microsoft PCL6 Class Driver

that Driver work fine, also with IP in Network.
only missing is to switch to 2nd Paperbin (no Option in M$ Driver)

Hi Tim
if you have shared printers you can map the port or send directly to the 
printer's network name

Tim,
have a look at Alaska  ASCN HBPrinter. Hubert Brandel wrote classes for this include
printerselection and preview.

Hi Tim.
Good night.
I think that if you already have the PDF file you can print it using the 
function RunShell().
Other way is to create a graphic report using Gra... Funcs and direct it 
to one PCL Printer. Is the same way that you do for graphic reports.
