testprt5 on XP shows pPrinter Name as:  http address\printer name
for XP the filePro destination is: win:\\http://num.num.num.nu\printer name

testprt5  on W7 laptop shows pPrinter name as:  printer name   (same as 
XP, sans the http address)
for W7 the filePro destination is (just like old times): win:\\computer 
name\printer name   (without the http)
I changed the W7 printer from WSD to winprint before changing the 
destination in filePro so I am not sure that has any bearing.

Thanks much for your help!
