>My app is installed at about 40 different locations. All the locations execute my app over a novell network. They all also have their printers installed over the novell network. About once a month I get a phone call that printing from my app is giving the "Print to File" window. They either bought a new printer or had to reinstall their existing printer. Several times using the HP III driver fixed the problem, now I am running into a handful of situations where using the HP III drive is not fixing the problem. Have tried every @$#% HP driver made. The only fix was to get them a local printer. So my "Print to File" problem is definately tied to the network, but what is the fix? Can not have everyone with a local printer. Anyone have any ideas?

That usually means that no default printer has been assigned on the station - in particular, if the app is a DOS app, the FP-assumed default of PRN can't be found anywhere. Check the Printers in Windows to see what the default printer is, and make certain that if this is involving a DOS app, that at least one of the printers assigned is set to capture output for MS-DOS programs on LPT1, or that a CAPTURE is in effect on that system (CAPTURE SH at the DOS box prompt will show you what Novell thinks it is redirecting.)
