| looks common problem but couldn't find answer.
i have .exe by vdb5.7 running on some pcs and 4 printers connected via usb to 2 of netted pcs.
under winME is no problem to select where to print what since LPTn: is real working feature.
win2000 has some 'activate printing pool' (sorry i translate from italian version) function that allows assignment to virtual LPTx:, but
'set printer to LPTn' results in 'port not configured for a printer'.
so i tried to manage some 'device=...lpt1' both in win.ini and dbasewin.ini, but since my dos/batch poor abilities are long gone: no effect.
i surrendered and put hands inside the .exe.
_pdriver="xxx,yyy"
surrenders to CRW defined printer or results as document lost in the net.
chooseprinter() ; labe form ... to prin
seem to work only occasionally, most of times again prnter defined in CRW's .rpl has priority.
PLEASE i need a hint.
only other solution i can think of is install CRW on every PC in the net...
