Do you know the escape codes for the printer? If so just print the
appropriate one to the device.
Are you going to program it yourself? or asking for one? Finding one
might take sometime' writing one yourself is a great start in
programming as this type of program is very simple.

Is this a problem because your HP is connected via USB? HP should be fine if
you are on a standard LPT port.
If it *is* USB, I think you can set it up with the Net Use command. In
Windows, SHARE the printer. Make a note of the printer share name and the
computer name. At the DOS prompt, type: net use lpt1
\\computername\printername <enter>
Then run Quickbasic. That may work for you...I don't have QB installed here
at home, so I can't test it.

That is the USB port. The information Toolman Tim posted (which you snipped
out) covered that exact problem. Share the printer, Net Use LPT1 printer.
