In printer maintenance, set the destination to "WIN:printername", where
"printername" is the name as it is known to Windows.

Note, however, that many of today's low-end "printers" are too dumb to
print anything other than pictures.  (For example, it cannot print the
letter "A".  Instead, software on your computer creates a picture of a
letter "A" and prints that picture.)  If you have a "Windows-only" or
"host-based" printer, then it's too brain-dead to be supported by
filePro directly.  You would need to use something such as filePro's
FP2RTF printer, or a third-party solution, available from other
members of this list.

What is the exact make and model of your printer?
