REDIRECT PRINTING

[Richard Kreiss]

Windows based filepro running on Server 2003 with a large system printer and
a number of locally attached smaller laser printers.

I know I can put -pq on the menu command line to allow for selecting a print
for a given clerk session.

\fp\rclerk foobar -s1 -xi -pq 

However  can I do this from an @key command?

The only option when @keyf is pressed is to print a specific letter.  When
the letter is printed from the @key option, the letter needs to be printed
to the local printer.

On my own system, I tried the following without success.

Putenv "pfprinter","hp 2500"   (printer type)
Putenv "PFPRT","hp 1200dtn"

Then the form command to print the letter.

My other choice is to set the printer option from the menu when clerk is run
as only 1 person prints the letter using the @key  option.

My preference would be to actually do this at the @key as I can actually get
who the user is and know if it goes to the local printer or the system
printer.
