Ken,
This still begs the question - setting pfprinter=gotomypc hardcopy of a screen
worked fine. However pressing <F> and selecting a form to print did not.
When I removed the defined printer name from the output format, everything
printed at my remote printer.
Should pfprinter=xxxxxx override a defined printer on an output when set in a
calling batch file?
As to the suggestion of using win:\\computername\gotomypc etc is really not a
good solution. The purpose of using GoToMyPC is to allow on to access a PC
remotely from a web browser. Therefore it is possible to be at different
computers and accessing ones computer. Now granted there can be a problem with
printers if the remote printer doesn't speak PCL.
