I have a similar problem. In Win98 I print to a label printer (using VFP8) shared on another Win98 computer with no problems, I can manipulate the printer name in 98. It is shared as "\\Login3\SMART". In Win98 I can call it and print to it as its name is displayed in Printers - "Smart Label Printer 220"

Now with a XP user trying to print to the same printer on the Win98 computer I have problems. If I use APRINTERS() I get "\\Login3\SMART" as both the printer name and port in XP. The name shown in Printers is now "SMART on Login3". I have a print button that is visible if the one of the printers returned is "\\Login3\SMART". My button is visible.

When I print it sends the print job to my local (LPT1) printer. If I print a label throught the label printing software it prints as expected.

Any ideas on what I'm missing??? THANKS!!!!!!

John,

The getrpinter() function will show a list of the named network printers that are installed in the users machine. Try it from the command box with cp = getprinter()

I have a button on a form for printing that selects the printer. It has the following code...
