Sending a Text file to print doubt

| Hi all dBASE friends!
I have a doubt
How to send a text file (mytext.txt) to print to a network printer directly
from dbase code??
I used to print the text file to a local printer in the lpt1 port:
set printer to lpt1
set headings off
type &CFILENAME to print
set headings on
And works great,
but now I need to send the same text file to a printer in the network
Can you help me please??
Thank you!
Rafa

| If you have Windows 2000, 2003 or XP, perhaps you could map the network
printer as LPT2 and do the same thing you are doing normally...
RUN(false, "net use LPT2 \\networkPath\networ
kPrinterName")
set printer to LPT2
set headings off
type &CFILENAME to print
set headings on
RUN(false, "net use LPT2 /delete")
