  48. I can't get icon to print my source code or to print anything to my =
  49. printer.
  50. I have a Compaq Presario, AMD Athlon 500 processor connected to an HP =
  51. 712C printer.
  52. Even the foloiwng code does nothing:
  53. procedure main( )
  54.     p :=3D open( "PRN", "w")
  55.     write( p, "hello" )
  56.      close(p)
  57. end
  58.  
  59. Is there a setup required to get icon to recognize the printer?
  60. Thank you,
