I have a problem printing on windows 98.

I built 2 programs when I print from the main app a second program is started to do the printing. So it is sort of in the background.
The background program gets the printer name in a dbf file.

I.E.
-Main App...
replace jobprinter with getprinter()

-Back ground app
cPrinter="'"+alltrim(Job.printer)+"'"
set printer to &cPrinter
REPORT FORM.........

In the main app when I preview and print it works fine.
But in the background app on windows 98 it sometimes does not send anything to the printer. I see the Printing.. window but no job comes out?!

I noticed one thing is that the
APRINTERS(aPrintArray) command returns different values for network printers on
windows 98.

i.e.
win 2000
aPrintArray[1,1] is "\\RUNTIME-MAIN\Lexmark 1855"
aPrintArray[1,2] is "192.168.1.2\LEXMARK02"

win 98
aPrintArray[1,1] is "Lexmark 1855"
aPrintArray[1,2] is "\\RUNTIME-MAIN\Lexmark 1855"

I use the aPrintArray[1,1] as the name I send to the program.
I tried to check for win98 version and then use the port instead but It didn't work.

Has anyone seen this before?
