Even when I try 'run net use LPT1 \\blah\blah > NULL' the net use output is printed to the FP console. I've also tried using NOCONSOLE with no results. Hmm..this is a tricky one.

Could you use one of the network libraries (netlib or the other one) to handle setting up the capture for your printer port??
