I may be in the wrong place, but I thought I'd start here.

I'm migrating a program written in FP2.6 for DOS from a Windows 95 box to NT 4.0. The Problem is the statement:

SET PRINTER TO \\SPOOLER\N\S=MYSERVER\Q=HP5SI

does not work from NT, I get a message "Error writing to LPT1:". Works great in 95 or 98. I then tried externally calling the Novell capture and NT really does not like that one (CRASH!). Does anyone know how I can get the SET PRINTER TO statement to work or any other way in which I can redirect my printer output in Foxpro 2.6 DOS on an NT machine? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
