The LPRINT statement sends string text or numerical values to a parallel port (LPT1) printer in QBasic or a USB printer in QB64.

Syntax

LPRINT [expression] [{;|,}]

Description

  • expression is one or more text or numerical 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.
  • Assumes a 80 character wide page. Keywords currently not supported by QB64
  • LPRINT USING can print formatted text data to a page identically to how PRINT USING formats a program screen.
  • COLORed 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 set up in Windows. Keywords currently not supported
  • Note: Printer escape codes starting with CHR$(27) will not work with LPRINT and may produce text printing errors.
