Local Printing To PC or Thin Client - Final Resolution

[Dennis Malen]

I posted a problem today that has been resolved. As I normally do I provide the resolution for everyone else's use.

Problem: I needed to print to a local printer attached to either a PC or a Wyse Thin Client. I am on AIX Unix. When using -PT or Printer Local I had problems printing. Either the job did not print or the print job got hung up and had to be forced (where it didn't look great.). The PN and PS codes were in TERMCAP.

Resolution: You have to create your own PN and PS codes in the document setup in Filepro with the following:

Initialize Print Code: $1b [5i      (PN)
Terminator Print Code: $1b [4i   (PS)

Obviously, the foregoing codes must be placed in the printer definition that you are using. You are creating your own PN and PS codes.

This method is much faster than using -PT or Printer Local and much more efficient.

Again, thanks to all those that responded.
