Is the Okidata the default printer in
windows?
if you do a prnsetup to the laserjet before
printing, will that cure the problem?
capture and endcap are Novell commands, prnsetup
should replace those if you have a non-Novell network.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Printing a file
locally
Here's a strange one I haven't seen yet.
Client is on a
W2000 network, printing from Win98 workstation, RBWin
6.5++.
A program prints hundreds of individual statements -- this
is
the problem I posted I think last year where it never made
it thru
the entire job, found that Okidata lasers have a
problem running on HP Jet
Direct network cards. They moved
the running of this program to a
workstation that has a
laserjet locally attached. It is a slower
printer, with
less memory, but it makes it thru the entire job.
But
there's one problem. As each statement prints, I am
gathering info
and writing summary data to an output file.
After all the statements print,
I do a simple output printer,
type &vfilename, output screen.
Nothing comes out, even if
she types this at the r> prompt. If she
prints to that
remote Okidata, it comes out fine!
To further narrow
this down, I had her bring up any file in
Notepad. She selected the
local printer, but nothing prints
out. Selects the network printer,
it prints! What would
cause this? This obviously is not an
RBase problem if even
Notepad will not print
locally.
