Redirecting program hardcopies to another printer

[John Esak]

I don't see why he can't just put  "-p /tmp/filenmae" on his menu for rcabe
and the like.  Then print the files if he realy wants them.  Actually, I
don't see any difference between printing from the filePro programs  to
printing the reports from filePro programs?  Is he just forgetting to
redirect the output where he wants it?  I mean, if he has a local printer
that is printing the regular outputs why can't he use one of the filePro
printer variables to send the output of the programs to the same printer?
I'm missing this one entirely.

       filePro 5.0.?, Red Hat Linux Enterprise 3.??, Anzio 15.? and
Go-To-My-PC (current version).



       I have a customer who will be spending some extended time in Florida
this winter.  He wants to do some filePro programming while he is down
there.



       He setup his laptop so that he can use Go-to-my-pc to connect back to
his office here in Wisconsin.  Using PFPRINTER and so forth, he was able to
re-direct his financial report printouts to his local desktop machine.  From
there his go-to-my-PC program routes them to his laptop printer down in
Florida just fine.  However, when he wants to hardcopy a processing table
and hits "Y" to the "Hardcopy?" question in dcabe or rcabe, the code and
variable cross-reference print out on a printer back in Wisconsin.  (He didn
't tell me whether they go to the local printer attached to his desktop
machine or whether they are going to his main Linux printer.)



       Seems to me that there was some other variable that he needs to set
in order to get the program printouts to go to a different printer, but I
don't recall what that was.



  Thanks!
