Take a look at /pc/ts/tsfaq14.arc frequently asked questions collection (available by anonymous ftp or mail server eg from uwasa.fi and Simtel20). Note that I cannot guarantee that it contains an answer you are looking for, since you have not defined what you mean by a screen dump. Most importantly do you need a graphics or a textmode screen dump? If it is the latter, then you should find some relevant information in the said FAQ. Furthermore, if it is a question of a textmode screen dump, there is no absolute need for separate printer drivers. ...................................................................

I realize now that I should have been more clear. By a screendump, I meant a package that will allow me to capture the current screen (text and/or graphics) and dump it to the printer. Since it is not just a text screen dump, I need something more than DOS' printscreen capability - I need to be able to print CGA/EGA/VGA images on a printer from the screen, so separate printer drivers are probably necessary. Related question: reagrding GRAPHICS.COM: Does it have to be executed BEFORE attempting to print graphics from the screen? Or does it just have to be sitting in the PATH somewhere? Does this clear things up? apologies, mike houwers ------------------- Michael Houwers Eastman Kodak Rochester, NY houwers@ssd.kodak.com
