Richard,

This is fo 5.0.15ODBC network version.  Yes all Windows including test print 
work.

I just had a thought (but not a solution).  The port TS001 is unique to that 
virual workstation.  pfprinter and the definition for printer 'frank' are on the 
server.  I would doubt that the server would know what port TS001 is.  Gawd how 
I hate USB ports.  I can not use a regular centronics printer cable because of 
the length.

I might end up having to buy a wire less laser.

Thanks
Rick

First question is which version of filePro are you running?

If running 5.6, press in the destination field of printer maintenance and
see if the printer is listed.

Can you print a test page?
