Setting default printer in Windows

[Dan McCabe]

Good morning,

I have recently migrated to Windows from UNIX, so I'm still learning the
differences.  The version is 5.07 running on Windows 7.  The default
printer in filePro is set and works fine.  But there are a couple of work
stations, I would like to change that default to a different printer.  All
the printers are installed on the server and shared over the network.

I tried putting the PFPRINTER=\\server\printer in the Windows batch file,
no luck.

Testing, I added an environmental variable using the Windows "advanced
settings" on the server, When I added the PFPRINTER variable, that worked,
overriding the filePro default printer.   When I tried to do the same thing
on a client computer using \\server\printer, as the value, it didn't
change.  There were no errors when I loaded the menu, but it printed to the
filePro default rather than my local override.

Is there a trick I'm missing here?

Thank you in advance.
