Damon - you have to capture the lpt1 port - here is an excerpt from a file
I keep on a DOS client's server...
1.. Click on the Start menu.
2.. Select Run and click on it.
3.. In the text box labeled Open type "cmd.exe".
4.. Type the following line:
Net Use lpt1 \\<compname>\<networkdevice>
i.e. net use lpt1 \\sms_3\NEC
i.e. net use lpt1 \\ksopprt01\ksopprt29p
i.e. NET USE LPT1 \\WORKSTATION1\HPDeskJet970
This will set the printer to lpt1 and allow you to print from a
DOS program. If you
would like to double check to see that the command was
successful just type
Net Use at the next dos prompt and verify the path following
lpt1.
Good luck!

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 :)
