Printing out of VBS?

Hello everybody,

is this question stupid?

Is it possible to print a .txt File out of VBS? I did not find any method
for that purpose nor a description for such a routine.

Any ideas?

Thanks for reading

Ole

Use Notepad.exe
This script print out a file droped to icon via notepad.

Set Args=wscript.arguments
Set wShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
wShell.Run "%windir%\notepad.exe /p " & Args(0), 0
Set wShell = Nothing

Ole,
As suggested in another reply, you may use notepad to print text
files; however, if you'd like to do something more eloquent, I'd be
glad to give you a copy of my PrinterObject that works well with
VBScript. It is an ActiveX dll that wrapes up the VB printer object
so that it can be used by any scripting language that supports
ActiveX/OLE.
