Sinclair Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 6:24 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Printing in Rbase for DOS on a Server from a Thin Client or Remote Desk Top I would like to try run Rbase for DOS on a 32 bit server, and access the program using a Thin Client or Remote Desk Top. I tried it, and it works fine, but not for printing. Everything I tried failed. OUTPUT LPT1; PRINT reportname; OUTPUT SCREEN OUTPUT LPT1; TYPE filename; NEWPAGE; OUTPUT SCREEN COPY filename PRN COPY filename LPT1 NET USE indicates that LPT1/2/3 are indeed mapped to network printers I am able to copy files to the LPT1/2/3 from a command prompt window, so I think the printers are working. What am I doing wrong? Mike
