Hi, John
I have a similar problem. Can you please, put some details of the trick.
Thanks
Jerry

NET USE LPT1 \\PrintServer\PrintQueue

Their printer is set up properly, as they're able to print from other apps (Microsoft Office, etc.), but not from this FPD app. I look at the printer, and it doesn't show any jobs out there, so it's as if the job isn't being sent to the printer at all. The code hasn't changed in years, so their shouldn't be any problems programmatically.
