Usually you can login to the remote desktop session without the app starting by default and see/set the printer for that user.
I stay away from local printers redirection in the client. Not just with Rbase but with any program. It is troublesome.

I think that'll work for some of the printers - but not all of them are truly networked printers. Some are installed locally, which is why they're being redirected when their remote session starts.

I know it always detects the printers on start up and uses the windows default printer as its default unless changed. But when is "on startup"? Scenario - R:Compiled application running on a application server. Users have remote sessions on the server running the shortcut. (So in reality, the 'local' machine is not in the equation as far as R:Base is concerned I think.) All local printers are 'redirected' to the server. Issue - no printers detected. At what point does R:Base (using R:Compiled app) detect the available printers? The hardware / network guys are thinking that the R:Base application is launching too fast, and the redirected printers are not done populating. When the main menu opens, there are no printers defined, and no default printer. I added a button to the main menu that launches 'prnsetup', but sometimes when they click it, there are no printers listed at all. I was thinking about adding some wait time in the start up file, but I didn't know if that's even too late not knowing when the printers are actually detected. Or maybe using cval to find if any printers are detected before the main menu launches. Would CVAL('PRINTERS') return null if no printers were detected at all? If it's null, I could alert the users and force an exit / restart. -- For group guidelines, visit http://www.rbase.com/support/usersgroup_guidelines.php --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBASE-L" group.
