Just a little tip

If you are using XP professional with a USB printer that can't be shared  
and want to print follow these steps

1) Set up a local printer under XP and use an IBM proprinter driver.
2) Set the port to file
3) Share the printer.
4) Open a Command prompt and type net use  lpt1:  
\\\

5) When you then print in Freexp it will ask you a file name to print to.
6) type in a filename
7) open the file in notepad, or any text editor and then print in the  
normal way.
