Get it here link found on wiki scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and you will see External Links. There is also a link to User's Guide which might, or might not, answer Ron's question. Since that compiler was written for MS-DOS 6.X and earlier its unlikely it will support printers on any version of MS-Windows.
If you want to learn vb, forget about GWBASIC and learn VB 2008 Express, you will like the results a lot better.

Thanks Dragon 
Welcome to the site RonT!

As no "emulation" is listed at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...reg_R1002_USEN , it seems it's a GDI (AKA Windows-Only) printer.
You may want to have a look at http://www.printfil.com/article/prin...y-printers.htm and http://www.printfil.com/article/basi...ws-printer.htm
