Hi Bala,

I have tried this method in my project.

Hope it works for you also.

Use The Built-in HOST as given below:

HOST('c:\windows\system32\print /D:device_name D:\full_path\file_name.txt',NO_SCREEN);
Here "HOST" is a built-in procedure which executes any operating system command.

device_name is: Printer port name. Ex- LPT1 or LPT2

I am trying here to print a file at the given 'D:\full_path\file_name.txt' location by executing PRINT command present in operating system.

This command works well with the printer connected to LPT ports
but, I am not sure how it behaves with USB port printers.

Best of Luck

Here's what I would do: I'd use a server side stored procedure to write the file (through UTL_FILE or OWA_SYLK). Then you can decide whether you want to call the file with parameters or simply pass SYSTEM.LAST_QUERY to it.

Note: OWA_SYLK is not standard Oracle, but you'll find the source on the net. It offers a bit of formatting.
