[frankone]

Foxpro lan 2.0 on Win2K Server, Trying to print to Win 98
workstation located on another Win 98 workstation.
Win2k server user login script as follows;
NET USE LPT3 \\DANNY\EPSON /PERSISTENT:YES

Have printer map to lpt3:\\DANNY\EPSON

I can get to print from windows but not when I run
a foxpro report. the report are coded, not using
the report generator.
Thank You

This functions well ONLY on LPT1 and PRN device !
Foxpro does not "close" print job by SET PRINT TO
which was printed to LPT2 and LPT3.
You can "close print job" imediatelly by
lnHandle=FOPEN('LPT3') (without colon!) and then
=FCLOSE(lnHandle).

I tried this on WIn98 and WinXP and this function very well.
