These escape sequences redirect output for Reflections, so _may_ work for you.

Give it a try and see.

Kismet,
Are you referring to the NetTerm product of InterSoft International?
If so, there is a hint on their website about printing from the host to a Windows printer. See:
http://www.securenetterm.com/html/netterm.html
I think you have to read through the docs of that product to find out how is has to be done.
Btw, if this is the product, then 4.2.9 is a pretty old release, the curent release is NetTerm 5.1.1.1.
Regards,
Kris (aka Qkcl)
