Have you ever tried printing anything on the printer from a GLBasic program? I haven't seen any commands for that.

Nope.

I havent either.

But windows might be able with an inline, i cant test it myself, no printer.

You "might" want to write a png, then a dummy HTML file with that image and start IE with /P option?
Alternative would be to link a PDF writing library.

I've got the source code to a printer routine (and other stuff) here : http://www.miscthings.co.uk/Oldplug-ins.rar.  Its Windows only unfortunately.

With the DLL, you could DECLARE it and then call the appropriate routine.  It will, of course, only work in a work as the standard printer selection screen will appear.
