I have some comments to state about writing to the printer:

  Since the person who needed help was using TP 3.02...He cannot use
the TP 4.0/5.0/5.5  printer unit   (uses printer) as some people have
suggested because TP 3.02 does not support units...

  
  I was also wondering why no one suggested using the DOS 'lpt1' or 'prn'
*file-like* interface to peripherals ???  Doesn't TP only run on PC's using
PC-DOS/MS-DOS  ???

  Also, a print-out can be made by re-directing output to the printer in
the DOS operating system using the external command "MODE.COM"  =>

A>mode lpt1 := con

I believe is the correct command.
