I've dotmatrix printer & printing the crystal report s usually slow. So I need to export the data to a text file and print it from DOS. Is there any solution to extract the contents of the report? and design it myself in text? \n\nThanx for your answers.

Try to use true type fonts in your report rather than converting to a text file and print that would definitly increase the speed of the pring. Also do not use much lines and bold fonts.

Use DOS.  open up a command window.  Start>Run  type CMD.\n\ncd yourdirectory...   \n\nthen type DIR this will give you a list of names and directorys.  \n\nright click... select all.  then right click on the dos window pane at the top (this is important).  then select Edit copy.  you can paste the text wherever you want to print.

What a great question!\n\nYou know, I used to write batch files for everything under the sun back in the old DOS 6 / Windows 3.11 days, but somehow got away form doing so as Windows evolved -- I wasn't even sure it still supported batch files!  But a little digging turns up the fact that yes it does.  It appears that what you are after is a "script file" (which seems to do within Windows what the Batch files do within DOS), though I'm not yet sure if that denotes a truly different type of file or if it is just a different name for the same thing.\n\nAnyway, here are a few interesting looking links I found:\nhttp://www.student.oulu.fi/~vtatila/batch_tutorial.html\nhttp://labmice.techtarget.com/scripting/default.htm\nhttp://www.onesmartclick.com/programming/batch-files.html\n\nSorry I couln't be more help than that, but hopefully it gets you started in the right direction.  Thanks for asking the question, it gave me something new to go learn about!

You are correct in how the programming is running.  However the '9' IS NOT garbage data.  The PrintF function does return the total number of characters printed if you are looking for it.  it does it internal to the printf function so you don't need a return on your sub routine.\n\nhttp://www.cplusplus.com/ref/cstdio/printf.html

You've lost me on this one.  It sounds like you're using the oddest combination of programs and operating systems.  Do all the questions relate to a single program ans is this program something supplied by Avon?\n\nI'll answer what I can of your questions...\n\n\n"To display a list of applications and services currently running on the local computer"\n\nPress <CTRL> <ALT> and <DELETE> simultaneously then click on the <APPLICATIONS> tab.\n\n=================\n\n"Command to send the file Report.txt in the current directory to a printer connected to LPT2 on the local computer"\n\n Are you locating the file using Windows Explorer and trying to print from there?  If so then right click on the file and select print from the drop down menu.  This will open the file in the default program which in the case of a TXT file will be Notepad.  A better option would be to open the file using something like MS Word and when you go to print the file you have the option of which printer to use.  If the only printer you have is connected to LPT2 it should automatically select this one.\n\n==================\n\n"To copy a file from the cursor subfolder within the Windows folder to a folder, (ie: My Avon Contacts), on the hard drive"\n\nAll folders and sub-folders are on the hard-drive and I'm not sure what you mean by the cursor subfolder.  There is a subfolder within Windows that contains the different cursor images but I don't think this is what you're referring to.\n\nIf you're wanting to copy or move a file from one folder or subfolder to another then use Windows Explorer to locate the file you want to copy / move and right click on it.  If you want to copy then select <COPY> from the drop down menu, if you want to move then select <CUT> from the drop down menu.  Next, browse to the folder you want to copy / move the folder to, right click on it and select <PASTE> from the drop down menu.\n\n======================\n\n"To display a directory listing sorted by file size and pausing for each screen of information"\n\nIf you're using Windows Explorer then display the contents of the folder in question, clcik <VIEW> from the top menu then select <DETAILS>, this will list all the files and by default this is alphabetically.  You'll see one of the columns is headed <SIZE> click on this to display in size order, each time you clcik the list will toggle between largest first and smallest first.\n\nWhat's confusing is that you're talking about pausing the screen, this makes it sound like you're using DOS (does anyone still use DOS?).  If you are then you need to add </P> at the end of the command line, for example: DIR C:/FILES/P\n\n====================\n\n"If you want to change the console colors...\n"If you wanted to return to the default console colors...\n"What command did you enter..."\n\nAgain, this sounds like you're in DOS but that wouldn't support changing background and foreground colors.  These colors can only be changed in certain programs which allow for this.\n\nI know this doesn't really answer your question but in all honesty, a lot of it doesn't make sense to me.  I'm far from a computer expert but I have been messing about with them for 22 years.\n\nIf you think it might help, try reposting your question and include which operating system you're using (e.g. Windows, DOS, Mac etc) and which programs you're referring to.

Convert it to a Tif file. They have better resolution. Or even a PDF file...  You should be able to print it out that way.

Impact Printers  \nWith this type of printer something strikes paper & ribbon together to form a character, like a typewriter.  \nAdvantages: Less expensive \nFast (some types) \nCan make multiple copies with multipart paper \nDisadvantages:   Noisy! \nPrint quality lower in some types. \nPoor graphics or none at all. \n\nTypes of Impact Printers\nDot Matrix   Forms characters using row(s) of pins, 9, 18, or 24 which impact the ribbon on top of the paper. Also called pin printers.\nThe more pins, the smoother-looking the characters.\n\nMost dot matrix printers have the characteristics below:\n\nA dot-matrix y & an enlargement\n \n Bi-directional - prints left to right and also right to left \nTractor feed -  uses sprockets to pull continuous-feed paper \nFriction feed - uses pressure to pull single sheets \nAdvantages:  Inexpensive \nCan do multi-copy forms \nDisadvantages:  Can be slow \nLoud\nGraphics of low quality, if possible at all.\n\nDaisy Wheel   Characters are fully formed on the "petals", like typewriter keys.  \n Advantages:  Best print quality \nDisadvantages:  Very slow - 20 to 80 cps \nOnly one font can be used at a time because you must change out the Daisy Wheel to change fonts.\n\nCannot print graphics.\n \n Chain and Band Printers   Uses characters on a band or chain that is moved into place before striking the characters onto the paper. \nAdvantages:  Very fast\n   up to 3000 lpm (lines per minute) \nDisadvantages:  Very expensive \nVery loud \n \nNon-Impact Printers  \nThis type of printer does not involve actually striking the paper. Instead, it uses ink spray or toner powder.  \n\nAdvantages: Quiet! \nCan handle graphics and often a wider variety of fonts than impact printers. \nDisadvantages:   More expensive \nSlower \n\nTypes of Non-Impact Printers\nInk Jet     Sprays ink onto paper to form characters \nAdvantages:  Quiet\nHigh quality text and graphics. Some can do color. \nDisadvantages:  Cannot use multiple-copy paper \nInk can smear \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n  \nThermal    Uses heat on chemically treated paper to form characters. Fax machines that use rolls of paper are also of this type. \nAdvantages:  Quiet \nDisadvantages:  Relatively slow \nExpensive, requiring special paper\nCannot use multiple-copy paper \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nPage Printer    Works like a copy machine, using toner and a heat bar. Laser printers are in this category. \nAdvantages:  Quiet\nFaster than other non-impact printers, from 4 to 16 ppm (pages per minute) \nHigh quality print and graphics. Some can do color. \nDisadvantages:  More expensive than impact printers \nCannot use multiple-copy paper

I have Power Point 2003, and the Mountain Top template. Why don't you send me a e-mail at alpvnet@yahoo.com, and I will reply attaching the template file. then you have to download it and put it into the template folder.

geeze. bmx_matt1234 if that's your answer then stop answering questions.\n\nYou will want to capture the printer port prior to running your DOS app. This should work but not always as XP DOS is not really DOS.\n\nI'm not going to retype the solutions already typed out at these sites, check them out:

Lets get one thing clear first -\nThe printing function in Excel is independent of the screen presentation- and it has to be because the column and rows can expand in both horizontal and vertical directions and the total proportion will need to be maintained. e.g. if you want to print an area of 20 columns and 2 rows and you force exel to print all columns on one page (i'll show you how to do that), then it'll do that but it will be so small that you wont be able to read it.\n\nNow assuming that you have a reasonable number of columns that you want to spread out equally over the width of a page,\n1) select all the columns and set the width to a common value  - go to format->columns->width and put in a value (You can play around with the value so that your text fits in well in all columns)\n2) select the total area that you want printed. the click on File-> Print Area -> Set Print Area\n3) Click on Print preview. if the columns are not distributed across the page, click on Setup. \n3a) Go to tab Margins , section 'Center on page' (at the bottom) and check off 'Horizontally'. Now,\n3b)Go to tab 'Page', section 'Scaling' and click on radio btn 'Adjust To'. Now increase the percent value in the box until you get the column presentation as you like.\nYou are done

Highlight the text then go to file print that should work depending how your printer is set up copy and paste it into word, then print. Did you try to highlight then go to file, print, then select "selection". You have to do all steps for it to only print the one line. Maybe you did do this, I know I have forgot to select "selection" before myself.

I've attached a link for open source PM s/w.  \n\nThere are also MS Project readers that are free or cheap, if you just want to view MS Project info.  I've attached a link to one, but I don't know it's any better than any other.

I really can't answer that however I can offer a solution to allow you to print them all.   \n\nHigh light all the answers, in your print properties hit print selection.

You scanner should have come with software to extract text (it's called OCR software). If the scanner's software isn't installed and you don't have the CD try downloading it at the scanner's manufacturer's website. If the manufacturer doesn't offer the software try searching Google for "free OCR software", or go to other scanner manufacturer's websites and see if you can download it free from them--since most of this software extracts text from a picture file, not directly from the scanner.\n\nAs for printing in certain areas, I have never seen software that lets you do this easily, but it probably exists. If it does exist, I would imagine it would use a picture file, not a text file. Try searching Google for it if the OCR software you find doesn't have this feature. \n\nJust remember to put the paper in the printer the right way. ; )

I'm not aware of a way to achieve this.\n\nAn alternative, that you might already be aware of, would be print the view to a PDF file, and then post the PDF file on your webpage.  When you print the file you can go into page setup and select to include the notes - although they'll end up on a seperate page.\n\nThis obviously requires you to have a method to create PDF files - this is not a MS Project feature.
