The printer is an HP2300.<BR>> <BR>> This is what has changed...<BR>> <BR>> The computer is running Windows7 with a virtual XPPro. filePro is on the<BR>32<BR>> bit virtual. We are printing via usb.<BR>> <BR>> pfprinter=frank and the printer is named frank. I think the problem is<BR>with<BR>> the port designation.<BR>> <BR>> The port is listed as TS001. So I changed the printer definition for<BR>'frank'<BR>> from lpt1 to
TS001.<BR>> <BR>> We do not get any printout. We also do not get any error message. The<BR>> report is not even in the queue.<BR>> <BR>> Note that other programs on the 32 bit virtual to print to the print.<BR>> <BR>> Any thoughts and help would be appreciated.<BR>> <BR>> Thank you,<BR>> Rick Hane<BR>> Deluxe Stitcher Company Inc<BR>> -------------- next part --------------<BR><BR>First question is which version of filePro are you running?<BR><BR>If running 5.6, press in the destination field of printer maintenance and<BR>see if the printer is listed.<BR><BR>Can you print a test page?<BR><BR><BR>Richard Kreiss<BR>GCC Consulting<BR><A href="mailto:rkreiss@gccconsulting.net" ymailto="mailto:rkreiss@gccconsulting.net">rkreiss@gccconsulting.net</A><BR> <BR></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">This is fo 5.0.15ODBC network version. Yes all Windows including test print work.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">I just had a thought (but not a solution). The port TS001 is unique to that virual workstation. pfprinter and the definition for printer 'frank' are on the server. I would doubt that the server would know what port TS001 is. Gawd how I hate USB ports. I can not use a regular centronics printer cable because of the length.</DIV>
