I can print from the command prompt window and from the property page of the printer.
Does that mean I should be able to print from with Rbase for DOS?

IIRC, you must have the same driver on the local machine as the Remote to print, but before I would go through all the gyrations within RBase, I would first determine if you can actually print at all (if you have not already done so). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kenny Camp" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2011 4:49 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Printing in Rbase for DOS on a Server from a Thin Client or Remote Desk Top : Too long since DOS :-) : : try R> zip cmd /c copy file.txt \\server\sharename : : : : or : : : : set v vcmd text = 'zip cmd /c copy file.txt \\server\sharename' : : &vcmd : : : : From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael J. : Sinclair : Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2011 2:03 PM : To: RBASE-L Mailing List : Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Printing in Rbase for DOS on a Server from a Thin : Client or Remote Desk Top : : : : Hi Kenny, : : In Rbase for DOS, trying to print to \\server_name\printer_name does not : work, what I get is ... : : : : -ERROR- Cannot create destination file.
