How the heck do I do this? I have never >seen ISQL before and have no idea how to setup printer selections. > I do not know 'Intelliprint', but try the following for setting up a passthru-printer: 1. Create a shell script like the following: echo "\\033[5i\\c" # turn passthru on cat - # print file from stdin to stdout echo "\\033[4i\\c" # turn passthru off 2. Assign the name of your script to the environment variable DBPRINT and export this variable 3. Call ISQL, make a querry and choose output to printer. This should call your shellscript with the generated output in a pipe.
