I tried it on my 5500n and it worked okay. You will need to map the printer to the lpt1 port.
net use lpt1: \\servername\printername That is Windows mapping. If you use Novell you can check the archives. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jim Schmitt Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 7:51 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Windows only printer?. Hello Rb Users: Received a call today from a client who just purchased a new XP computer, with a HP 5500 color printer. They are running RB DOS. When they print from Word or Excel, the printer prints fine. But, when they print from RB DOS 4.5++, the program displays the internal program message 'REPORT PRINTING - PLEASE WAIT', but system seems like it is 'hung'. Is this printer (HP5550) one of those ''windoze only' printers ? I had the operator hook up other printers and they seem to work fine. Puzzled ?
