I tried a number of things from VFP and then went to the machine in question .

The Set Printer To \\[MachineName]\[Shared Printer Name] killed FoxPro so I was looking for alternatives

I issued a !Type [FileName] > \\ [MachineName]\[Shared Printer Name].
This worked great on a Windows 98 machine but fails miserably in Windows 2000. I keep getting a File Creation Error. I am stuck. Please help. :>
