Ken,

Aren't the printer commands command line options for redirection?

My initial thought was to do this in processing.  Hence trying pfprinter.

I could probably accomplish this in a batch file as I have already set the
user name when they log into the system.  But I would rather let filepro
manage this directly.

I did try putenv "pfprinter","hp 1200dtn" also.

Are you indicating that I can't set the variable in processing to redirect
the printer before the form command is executed?
