Dump

This statement forces anything that has been LPRINTed to be sent to the Print Manager to commence printing immediately.  If DUMP is not issued, the LPRINTed text will be printed, but it might not be printed right away.

LPRINT expr

This statement is used to send data to the default printer (as determined by the Windows Print Manager).  A series of expressions can follow LPRINT (there does not need to be any expression at all), each separated by a semicolon.  Each expression is sent in sequence.  Printing can be formatted into columns with the TAB(n) function. When you are finished sending data to the printer, you should commit the print job by using the DUMP statement. Just BASIC will eventually send your print job, but DUMP forces the job to finish.
