Local Printing

I need to specify local printing for a label/tag output in input processing
while the other outputs go to the designated network printer.  I know how to
specify local printing from a menu item using "PFPT=on" as a preface to the
command.  But I do not see how to specify it in the process table or output
format.

The user has a Windows work station using Anzio as the terminal emulator.
The tag printer is on a parallel connection to that work station.  I am
trying to avoid purchase of a new tag printer, and the HP Jet Direct boxes
that I have used previously are now a discontinued product.

Can anyone suggest a way to designate one output to the local printer while
not disrupting the other printer destinations?

Thanks very much.

Scott says:

In processing use:

   printer local

Then print job should go to the device that user is logged in from.


After that print job is sent, use 

	printer reset

to change the print job destination back to the default.
