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.

Define a printer in pmaint with the proper type, and "local" as the 
destination.  Then, set the output format's printer destination (F8 options) 
to that printer's name.

Alternatively, in processing, wrap the FORM command with "PRINTER LOCAL" and 
"PRINTER RESET".
