Thanks Bernie, I had tried everything, including giving the users administrators rights, but no luck. Until After doing some digging with Microsoft's online support, I found knowledge article (Q154498), which describes how to print from Dos Based programs from Win2K. After I issued the Net Use command, I was able to print from RBDOS on a networked printer with no problem. Do you know if you had to do this first or did you do something different ?
