Charlie, Tony Gravagno has explained the basics (thanks once again, Tony). Let me add to that.
You want to set up a "virtual" Windows printer driver, that acts like it's going to a networked printer via TCP/IP. But in this case, the IP address for the printer is the actually the IP address for the PC on which Print Wizard is running. This *may* be the same machine as the jBase (or D3) is running. When a machine sends to itself, "itself" as a machine named "localhost", which in TCP/IP standards has an IP address of 127.0.0.1. This approach is what we call a localhost setup. You can find a document about it here: http://www.anzio.com/resources/setting-localhost-printer-print-wizard A couple of warnings/modifications: 1) Some recent Windows versions have such tight security settings that they won't resolve "localhost", so it makes sense to refer to the destination by IP address (127.0.0.1). 2) You will probably have to mess with your firewall settings in order to get this to work. I usually turn off the firewall temporarily, then get everything working. Then I'll turn the firewall back on but allow exceptions as needed. 3) You can EITHER a) use "raw" TCP/IP in the printer driver end, and a "listen service" in Print Wizard, or b) use "LPR" TCP on the printer driver end, and an "LPD service" in Print Wizard. If the latter, then the queue names must agree. I hope this helps you get started. If you get stuck, give a holler.
