print

What kind of help are you looking for, Fred? Delphi supports the printer
in much the same way as it does a screen. There is a canvas, and you
must specify exactly where you want your information printed using
OUTTEXTXY(). Once you formatted the page, you then direct it to print. I
haven't done this recently, but did so about a year and a half back.
It's not all that difficult.
