HI Anatoliy,

I need the flexability to print to network printers and UNC/IP addresss. Normally I would
control this using VFP but with strings over 250 characters I have problems going directlry to the
printer.. I found a work around that fixed the issue.

1. Select the printer using SET PRINTER TO PRINTER_NAME this seems to get the mappings correct
2. Create the low level file and write the all the data to a file then close file.
3. Issue the SET PRINT TO command to release the printer
4. Use COPYFILE() api to deliver the file and it works across the net and to local printers.

Thanks for you help,

Gary
