I can print manually just fine. I assume TB just uses whatever the default Windows    192.168.1.254    printer is, right?

Is this because I am using IMAP? Since the email just kind of 'appear' there, could that be preventing the filter from working?

Yes, that's what it seems to do here with an older version of The Bat (v8.8.2) .

Are you sure that nothing gets send to the printer? Most printers indicate receipt of data (through a blinking led e.g.) but the fact alone that it doesn't print anything, would not mean that nothing was sent. For instance, it might be that Windows has queued the message, or the printer drives has spooled it, but it won't be actually printed until a full page or a formfeed has been received. However, if that were the case, you would see the same problem with other applications that print in text mode (like Notepad)

Yes, that's what it seems to do here with an older version of The Bat (v8.8.2) and a POP3 account. It works fine.  Hopefully someone who uses IMAP will give it a try as well.
