Has anyone every tried to run a filepro report with normal output to a unix
printer
Like from a command line via a HTML Page ?   (Trying to get a .NET Appl to
run a report in fp)

i.e.:
	A webpage executes a CGI script ..
        The script then calls Filepro 
           Filepro (dclerk) then checks & verifies the information passed to
it
  	     (Mainly to get the range and IP of requester - This in turn
sets the printer)
	     then runs dreport (via system) with output directed to a unix
printer
           that is set via -pn .
 
The process I have in place works fine when run at a command prompt, but
then fails
if called by Apache.

Misc Info:
	sco unix open server
	All requests are made on-site, Intranet only.
	Any IP not on the list is rejected.

Thanks
