Thanks SkyKhan,
Seems I am asking too much, and I know Thaddy will likely reply some time soon.
I have a Windows 10 computer with a Brother MFC laserjet printer operating on wifi, but it can be hard wired is necessary. The Cannon Ink jet printer uses the USB port. Neither one works with FPC. I see others with new HP and other printers.
All I was looking for is a PROGRAM that prints "hello world".
Program Hi
interface
uses whatever
Implementation
var f: textfile
begin
rewrite f;
print (f, 'hello world');
close f;
end.
and have it go to the printer and actually print.
or as an alternative have it save f to a text file on disk and use FPC to tell the computer to print the text file, like I could do with Python. I'm just trying to not re-write 24,000 lines of code in Python. I'm not looking at graphics or anything fancy. Just print text that is the result of my program calculations.
I have been reading for 3 days and still don't find a workable example.
I can't be the only one. Himie has had over 1000 views of his first post.
