We converted 80% of our company to LPR. Now the macro we were using to print entire information screens out of Extra has stopped working. Tried changing printer names in the macro to name on machine but won't work. Not sure the best way to do this but these screens can sometimes take up 120 pages so need to have this macro working.


Thanks
 
I don't know what LPR is, your question is a bit vague for me to know if I can help.
 
LPR is windows TCP/IP printing. You use windows to create a port on the machine that looks like a local port but points to the IP address of a printer. It then appears on your machine as a local printer.

LPR stand for Line Printer Remote.



Thanks
 
We had this problem and switched to the postscript driver and it works flawlessly
