Hi Al,

SET PRINTER TO NAME is a Fox, not OS, native command, right ?

I have run NET /? and NET HELP USE from the DOS box, but have obtained mixed results when using the NET USE command. I think trouble has happened when LPT1 has been previously defined, but am not sure. Am still looking for more complete info.

Thanks for your reply.

Alex

SET PRINTER TO NAME \\<i>servername\sharedprintername

If you want to use NET USE, as with all command-line utilities NET /? in a DOS box will get you close, and NET HELP USE closer still.
