If you are in text mode, it's easy...just use the save_text_image() command. Extract only the characters (not the combined foreground and background colour attribute bytes, unless you want to use them as well), and send them to the printer. If it is graphic, it's going to be a bit harder. You can easily get the pixel image using save_image(), but sending it to the printer will require the conversion of the pixel colours to your printer's print control language. This will depend if you have a older colour dotmatrix or a hot new laser type. > > P.S. Especial thanks to Jacques Deshenes for his code. It help me a lot. Mr Deshenes is one genius of a programmer. I'm seriously considering using his donated software tools at the Euphoria Home page to dazzle up version 2.00 of "A Beginner's Guide To Euphoria" Good luck!

His code "works" and is almost always a total no brainer to implement. He is very helpful as well. I asked him "I need to do this with your sound code, how do I?" and the next day in my mailbox was all the code I needed to cut and paste in. AND IT WORKED THE FIRST TIME I TRIED IT. That's a big wow for me. This Listserver is chock full of creative people who really do the Euphoria Community a service by being here and sharing their expertise and their code with us. Jiri Babor is another one. His fire code is way cool and the font.e saved me a few days programming once I figured it out. He even had a font that worked for what I needed.
