I have users who need to print to a printer attached to lpt1 when printing out tags. I used the routine below to change the printer, then ran the label report. problem is it sends the report to the default printer instead of the lpt1 printer. When I checked the value of set("printer",1) it came out as "C:\VFE\CANNON BJC-50", but the value of lcprinter was "CANNON BJC-50". So why the path is being added I do not know. Can someone help me? I know I can use "PROMPT" but i'd rather just set it in code and go.

Here is the code:

aprinters(laprinters)
LNROW=ascan(LAPRINTERS,"LPT1:")/2
LCPRINTER=LAPRINTERS[LNROW,1]
SET PRINTER TO (LCPRINTER)

LABE FORM mfgcut ALL NOCONSOLE TO PRINTER

TTTIA!
