Jay - our Developer's Reference says the syntax is 
PRINTER NAME "name",
so is lp a dummy field that contains the name  or do 
you have the printer name defined under pmaint as "lp"?

This reminds me of something that happened to me recently, 
where I assigned in filepro between two html tags pi as in 
<font ....>pi</font>, where pi was an undefined dummy 
field I had copied in from another table.  The 
resulting page showed the value of pi from the pi 
function. :)
