Ken,

This still begs the question - setting pfprinter=gotomypc hardcopy of a screen
worked fine.  However pressing <F> and selecting a form to print did not. 

When I removed the defined printer name from the output format, everything
printed at my remote printer.

Should pfprinter=xxxxxx override a defined printer on an output when set in a
calling batch file?

As to the suggestion of using win:\\computername\gotomypc etc is really not a
good solution.  The purpose of using GoToMyPC is to allow on to access a PC
remotely from a web browser.  Therefore it is possible to be at different
computers and accessing ones computer.  Now granted there can be a problem with
printers if the remote printer doesn't speak PCL.
