{{PageSyntax}}
:{{KW|LPRINT}} [{{Parameter|text$}}] [{;|,}]


{{PageDescription}}
* {{Parameter|expressionList}} is one or more expressions separated by a semi-colon (;) or comma (,).
* Syntax is the same as [[PRINT]], but cannot use a port number.
* Program does not have to [[OPEN]] the LPT1: parallel port. In fact that is NOT recommended!
* Assumes a 80 character wide page unless a {{KW|WIDTH|WIDTH LPRINT}} statement is used.
* [[LPRINT USING]] can print formatted data to a page, similar to [[PRINT USING]].
* [[COLOR]]ed text and images can be printed using [[_PRINTIMAGE]] which stretches them to fit the default printer's paper size.
* LPRINT will only print to the DEFAULT USB or LPT printer that works in Windows.
