The true
is that
there is no real need
to print a TXT file !

Because everybody
can open a TXT, or INI or XML or LSP file
with a simple text editor
and print it.

I needed
to wrote
my Notepad
internal to Acad
. . .
and just
to make complete it
I want to be able
to print
the edited file.
. . .

My test shows that printing via notepad.exe works. And if you don't like the window that pops up, you can try calling notepad.exe via the Windows Scripting Host.

yes
this
(startapp "notepad.exe /p \"X:\\Your path\\File.txt\"")
WORKS !
. . .
But I will be happy
if it will be possible
to get the access
to the printer preferences . . .
. . .
and
without cross
notepad . . . !
