Way back in the old Turbo Pascal days, it was super simple to send text to a printer. I had written a program that printed text on labels in the order the labels were needed.. the whole thing took me less than an hour to write and labels were spewing out of the printer. I haven't had a need to print anything since then, but now, I want to do the exact same thing.. print sequential text only labels from my FPC console program. I can display the labels to the console window, or write them to a file. but I'm just staring at my code at a total loss on how to send these simple labels to my USB label printer connected to a windows 10 64bit PC. Is there no way to just send text to printers anymore? I don't want to go through the windows print dialog for every label, and I don't want to create one huge document of all the labels and print them all at once.. I want my FPC console application to spit out the next in sequence single label each time I push the space bar, without dealing with any the print dialog or doing anything else. This used to be so easy to do, but now it seems either very complicated or impossible. Does anyone know of a way to just send pain text to a USB printer with FPC ,preferably without Lazarus? James
