you can print form as if you are printing on a local printer... if you capture the lpt1 port to network printer. To do this, issue the command

NET USE LPT1: \\MyNtServer\MyNetWorkPrinter

before the application is started. This will set the said printer to be the default printer and FP2.6 application will directly print to the network printer ramani :-9
