Is there any reason you're using XP virtual mode?  filePro doesn't need it.

If you define the printer within Windows, then "WIN:printername" should 
suffice.  (Another option would be "WIN:\\server\printer".)  As long as 
Windows knows where the printer is, and can access it, filePro doesn't care 
about its physical location.
