The user can knows each printer IP address or printer name (of course). Is it possible to print from VFP directly to the IP (without knowing the printer name)? I feel that if we use IP it is less likely that the user will make a mistake in the printer configuration file (where printer names/IP will be stored).

Thank you.
I will try the following syntax:
cPrnIp = "xx.xx.xx.xx"
SET printer to (cPrnIp)
REPORT FORM MyReport.frx NOCONSOLE NODIALOG to PRINTER
I won't be able to try it now as I don't have a printer here (I am at home). But if someone has tried printing to an IP and thinks that the above syntax is wrong, please let me know.
