We use slave printing from Accuterm to handle these situations. It works for clients running Accuterm on a Terminal Services server as well as those running it on a remote PC. This can probably be done with other terminal emulation software, but we've only done it with Accuterm. The only caveat for us is that the remote printer needs to speak PCL to get the orientation and LPP settings correct. HP laserjets and deskjets always work, and a few other brands that emulate an HP PCL printer will work. The steps to make this work via Accuterm are: Set Accuterm slave printer setting to text mode, then from your application: PRINT CHAR(18); * Slave on PRINT CHAR(27):'3'; * Disable terminal echo PRINT PCL.SEQUENCE << loop through the hold file and print each line >> PRINT CHAR(20); * Slave off PRINT CHAR(27):'4'; * Enable terminal echo -John ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
