Thank you.

If you like to use QB for screen output, then http://www.petesqbsite.com/sections/tut ... cs.shtml#8 is place to start.

...and you have loaded the GRAPHICS driver at DOS start and have a printer compatible with the very old dot-matrix IBM Proprinter.....

PrintScreen by itself printed only text screens in DOS!
