Brian, 1. This is a network printer \\xxx-dev\xxx 2. I use this printer from windows XP as my default printer all day long 3. I've set up a printer called NORCRON via my SB+ admin screen. If I do a spool -list, it does not appear, however my \\norcron-dev\NORCRON does (with no entries). I can't do a SETPTR to \\norcron-dev\NORCRON ... Universe says illegal option. I do a setptr to NORCRON (which points to \\norcron-dev\NORCRON) and it appears to take and allows me to print to it .. But no printing actually happens and NORCRON is not in the spool list. 4. 5. I think so - how can I be sure? 6. I'll try and fiddle with this
Thanks for the help ... This is incredibly frustrating.

Is this a local printer or a share e.g. \\machine\printer ? 2. If remote, is it installed under Windows? If so, does your UniVerse user have privilege to access it? 3. Does the printer show up if you do a SPOOL -LIST ? Is there an error code reported when you do? 4. If local, can you set the printer to FILE (printer->Properties->Ports) and see any output? 5. Are the printer drivers locally installed? 6. If remote, try setting up the printer as a local printer (on \\machine\share) an try using the generic/text only driver.
