Hi All,

What is the best way to print to a network printers in Rbase for DOS and Rbase for Windows? Do both versions recognize LPT1 through LPT9? I have been using the following code with reasonable success, but I do get a few jobs that just don't print....

 

ZIP NET USE LPTx /delete

ZIP NET USE LPTx \\servername\printequename

OUTPUT LPTx

WRITE 'whatever you want'

OUTPUT SCREEN

--or sometimes...

OUTPUT LPTx

COPY filename.txt LPTx

OUTPUT SCREEN

 

Adding a PAUSE FOR 2 after the ZIP NET USE COMMANDS seems to decrease the number of times that my print jobs "get lost".

What is the best way to do this? Do both versions (DOS and Windows) running on Windows XP support LPT1-LPT9??


TIA!

Mike
