    <description>I'm not aware of any printer capable of rendering/printing RTF files.&lt;BR /&gt;What You need is to find a program wich converts RTF to a printable format.like MS Windows or OpenOffice does.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;On VMS one can use the CONVERT command, if the DDIF RTF module is present:&lt;BR /&gt; convert/document foo.rtf/format=rtf foo.ps/format=ps&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If sys$library:DDIF$READ_RTF.EXE does not exist on Your system, google for it on hp.com .&lt;BR /&gt;I don't remember if it was on a freeware disk or whereelse.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;There are also several RTF2HTML/RTF2TEX, RTFTOHTML programs and perl scripts floating around, google and try.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;You can use EXESYMB freeware to establish a queue which does the conversion chain (convert RTFto*-&amp;gt;PS or PCL), and finally prints the resulting document to the destination printer.&lt;BR /&gt;I do not use RTF printing, but have a EXECSYMB queue to print either text,PDF,JPG,GIF to Postscript queues.&lt;BR /&gt;(RTF could be added if there is a need).&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;See for example &lt;BR /&gt; &lt;A href="http://wwwvms.mpp.mpg.de/vms$common/execsymb/cnv_ansi_ps.com" target="_blank"&gt;http://wwwvms.mpp.mpg.de/vms$common/execsymb/cnv_ansi_ps.com&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;</description>
