I do the same thing to print checks to blank check stock. I build the file, copy to a temp file and use teh RAPRINT.FLL (see files section) to copy the file to any printer available over the WAN/LAN. With RAWPRINT.FLL you can print to a port on the local PC or any shared network printer using a UNC path. The advantage of RAWPRINT.fll is that you do not have to use any of the set printer commands.

Just load file fll in memory and send the file

lretval = RAWPRINT([\\server name\printer],[c:\temp\coutput.txt])

Easy as pie and it has not failed yet. Solves the problem of making sure that each client has a printer mapped when using (???).
