(Not really a reports question but its the closest I could find...)


To print to various _specific_ printers across a network, up until now I've
been using APRINTERS( ) to give me a list of valid printer names for the
user to chose from.

Then for the various reports I have something like...

cPrinter = myprint1
set printer to name &myprint1
...(report)

cPrinter = myprint2
set printer to name &myprint2
...(report)

etc..


The problem is that Aprinters( ) _used_ to return the actual printer
name -such as "HP DESKJET" or "Epson Stylus 640", but in XP Aprinters( )
returns eg. "HP DESKJET on (servername)".

So the Set Printer To name (printername) no longer works in XP.

Can anyone tell me the way I should/could be doing this? ...and also if this will work in a MS 'cross-platform' network.
