Thanks Mike, this was very helpful, I update my computer to windows 2k with sp2, now symphony it's working!!!!, thanks really,  I just have one final question, how do you control the printing?, I try to explain this, I send the file to print to my okidata 320 ML from symphony, works fine and the output it's good, but if for some reason I cancel the print from within symphony, turn off the printer and delete the job from windows spool, when I try to print something else the printer resume printing the file I already cancel, do you know any way to totally clear the printer spool, I try several things but nothing seems to work, hope you can give me a light with this, greetings, Tono

Tono, I haven't printed anything with Symphony in years, and that was without going thru Windows spooler.  Frankly,
I don't know how you are doing that because I've never
sent a Symphony print job from this Win2k machine.  Seems
like the job would never hit the Windows spooler???

I used to print directly from Symphony to a Star NX-15 dot
matrix printer which is gathering dust over in the corner
of my office. But that was in the days of DOS and Win 3.1.
The printer, I think, has a small memory buffer and will
run on for a little while after cancelling a print job.  
Once the data gets to the printer, ya can't pull it back
through the cable.  :-)

Nowdays, whenever I have to print a Symphony file
I import it into Excel and print from there to an
HP inkjet printer.

Sure glad you got Symphony to work.  But for the most part
I avoid printers and know very little about them.

Regards,
