hmmm, you don't want to print to file, you'll get a file full of printer commands mixed with the text
lsd docs are compressed, iirc XPK on aminet will uncompress the files for U |

In windows, you can do like 'install new printer' -> manufacturer M$, type 'Generic/Text only', set output to 'File'. Set this printer up in UAE and works for me under W2k.
Or read&print the texts from WB, for ex. the 'Textview' tool from Aminet knows about the Powerpacker format, as an easy solution. Hth |

You could also use the redirect print comand under workbench. With the w/b printer set to one that's compatible with your printer, you can then copy to LPT1: on the PC with the printer - I've done it this way. But I do like the "text print -> file" idea under windows - just tried it and it's fine under XP as well. Nice one Lockrobster!
