Printing(An actual printer) files or text

-----------------------------------

Is there a better way to print files or text other than 
Sys.Exec ("NOTEPAD.EXE /p file.txt")

What if the user does not have notepad?
When you are installing Windows you can disable it

Also then it pops up with notepad for a second

Also if there is an error its a notepad error

I want to know if turing can print

Pure text?  Yes.  I don't recall the syntax exactly, but [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=11]this tut will give you the details.  [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=4658]This one is a little different, but gets you to the same place.
Really, [Turing Tutorials] has a lot of your questions already answered, if you'd only look - and most are nicely summarized in the [Turing Walkthrough].

I will make it get the printer's name out of an ini file
