Some printers store data until there is a line- or pagefeed.
Maybe that's all.
 

I tried with writeln but is not possible. My printer work with port usb.
Any idea??
Thanks

I have not done this in a long time, but I believe the command is:
copy text.txt>lpt1:
You can also try printing from the DOS Edit command. Either method should
tell you if the printer is accessible from the command line.

Yes I tried with dos command. I think is because I have usb port.
Anyone has the same problem?

It should be possible to have Windows map the printer so it appears as

Apologies for the brevity, but I'm not at a Windows box right now.

Good idea! I forgot about that because I always set up my printer to allow
printing from DOS. In Windows 95 and 98, when a new printer is set up, the
setup dialog will prompt you to select whether the printer is accessible
from DOS. Did you do that, Marcelo?
