Hi...........Help Please....Where to go from here....

I have an number crunching aircraft flight planning program originally written on a Sinclair Timex ZX81....upgraded thro GWBasic....to Qbasic...BUT....now unable to printout from XP computer with only USB.
My program may not be very "Programming Perfect", but I find it very useful
and...."It's Mine".............
Appreciate advice on Printing.....or whether it's time to move up to the next level?.....If so...which language...??

you can do a cheesy work around to manually print
inside your program using the shell command...
open your program in notepad and print manually....

Easier still, modify the program to print to a work file. Then, at the end, load the work file into Notepad and print it out.
