that's interesting.  certainly not what i would have expected...

i THINK what you wanted would be something like this:

5 D$=CHR$(4)        : REM THIS IS USED FOR EXECUTING DOS COMAMANDS!
10 PRINT D$"PR#1" : REM I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT #1 ENABLES THE PRINTER?
20 PRINT "HELLO"   : REM SAY 'HELLO' TO THE NICE PRINTER....  :)
30 PRINT D$"PR#0" : REM DISABLE THE PRINTER NOW THAT WE'RE DONE...
40 END                   : REM NOT NECESSARY, BUT A GOOD HABIT...

i know that it takes the "long way" for doing things, but i know it
works...  :)  you should be able to glean something useful from all
that....

don't sweat it.  your English is good enough to get the point
across...  (isn't that the point of a language?  <g>)

hope this helps...
