The termcap for you are using, I think, requires Local Print PN= and PS= 
to be set properly.  Then tell filePro to local print.  Use -pt on the 
menu line or

PRINTER LOCAL

in processing.  If by default printer, you mean the printer type is set 
to pcaw that is ok.

Putting the printer in the printer list, does not mean anything to 
filePro.  We need to see the entire line of information to really know 
what you have indicated on the filepro printer list.  The name is 
arbitrary to the output, but the information in Printer Destination 
might be helpful.

Now my solution might be out-of-date but I have done it like this for years.
