After a number of tests, it appears that printer names have changed from
Windows 7 to Windows 10, nothing to do with Rbase. I don't understand why my
old printer names are still working, ie \\servername\printername is working
after I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, but any new printer names that
are added after the upgrade, appear to have to be
\\servername\domain.com\printername
Hope that helps somebody in Rbase community who is upgrading from Windows 7 to
Windows 10

Success!Ok...but here is what I found....Before I could name the printer as
follows:\\Zeus\pos4printa
Now I have the new name must be...\\Zeus.MJSMD.COM\pos4printa
All of my other network printers are still working and they have names similar
to \\zeus\printer_nameSince I upgraded to Windows 10, new printers have to have
the domain name, ie \\Zeus.MJSMD.COM\printer_name.
Is that because of Windows 10 or because of Rbase X?

That's what I do, exactly as Razzak suggests.
When you get it to work "manually", then do a PRNSETUP INFO
and you'll get a list of exactly how to reference the name, the tray, etc.
Just copy and paste the info into your command!

For testing purpose, try the manual method and see what you get ...
-- Select the appropriate printer first
PRNSETUP
-- Now print label
LBLPRINT scripts4x4 WHERE patnumbr = .vpnum AND refflag ='L' AND +
PRINTER = 1 OPTION PRINTER |SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF
RETURN
Hope that provides you with some blue's clues ...
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak
