[Tutor] Further help needed!

[John Corry]

I am using the following code to send a text file to the printer:-

import win32api
filename = "testprint.txt"
fileobj=open (filename, "w")
fileobj.write ("This is a test")
fileobj.close()
win32api.ShellExecute (
  0,
  "print",
  filename,
  None,
  ".",
  0
)

This code works on windows XP + Windows 2000.  However it does not work on
windows 98SE.  I have tried this code on 3 seperate machines with windows
98SE.  They all come up with the same error:

 File
"C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py",
line 310, in RunScript
    exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__
  File "C:\test\Script1.py", line 12, in ?
    0
error: (31, 'ShellExecute', 'A device attached to the system is not
functioning.')

Is there another way to print out a text file on windows 98SE?  Do I have to
do something different on the windows 98SE machine?  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John.
