I believe that the OUTPUT PRINTER command in R:Base for DOS will send the output to the parallel port (LPT1). In Windows 98 you can capture the network port to print to LPT1, I am not sure how it works in Win2K. If I remember correctly, there is a command that you can run from the command prompt (server???) to assign a printer to port LPT1. You may want to do a search on the list for a thread not too long ago that addressed this subject; I will try to find it and post it, although one of the network gurus will probably come up with something sooner.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Printing with RBase 6.5++ Dos on Win2K

 

Well, I can tell my brain is dead today!

Environment is RBase Dos built 1.851xRT03, OS is Win2K, SP3

Command file is:


Output  Printer
Print SubOpen where limit = 10
output screen
Return


Windows Default Printer is :
\\SSW1\HP2200-1.Stalder

VERY simple command, and RBase hangs, and the report doesn't print. These are old 4.5++ command files that are slowly being upgraded, but I have to keep them working until the Win versions are working. I can't seem to find the solution, and it's driving me nuts!

OK, Guru's help a brain drained guy out :)
