This is a re-post of what I sent earlier in answer to Brian's question
but the information was scrubbed. My apologies:
Since this issue makes no since, I thought I would add some more to it.
After Brian's suggestions, I decided to go back and start from the
beginning and redo all my tests and the additional things he suggested
to make sure I was not losing my mind. So here was my procedure and as
a reminder what I am using:
SCO 3.2.5.0.6 i386
Filepro 4.05.08K7D4
AlphaCom Terminal Emulation
Windows 7 on all PCs except 1 which is Windows 10
BTW, this is *not* a new user to the system.
1. Logged in as user on the W10 PC to the Unix system and into Filepro.
Viewed a record in 3 or 4 different files and pressed H for hardcopy and
nothing prints to the system printer. Pressed F to print a form,
selected the form format that I wanted and it did not print to the
system printer. AlphaCom has a printer icon where you can print what is
on the screen to any printer that is defined on the PC. I printed to
the system printer and to a local printer what was on the screen,
essentially a hardcopy of the record on the screen. That's all fine and
good but still unable to print the form.
2. Logged in as the same user on a W7 PC to the Unix system and into
Filepro. Viewed a record in 3 or 4 different files and pressed H for
hardcopy and it prints to the system printer as it should. Pressed F to
print a form, selected the form format that I wanted and it printed to
the system printer as it should. Used the AlphaCom printer icon and
printed to the system printer and to a local printer what was on the
screen, essentially a hardcopy of the record on the screen.
3. Per Brian's suggestion, I logged in on the Windows 10 PC to the Unix
system and did a set|sort> env.txt. The list below is what I got back.
Windows 10 Env User1
Windows 10 Connection *Set command on SCO Box*
COLUMNS=80
HOME=/usr/mau
HUSHLOGIN=FALSE
HZ=100
IFS=
LINES=25
LOGNAME=mau
MAIL=/usr/spool/mail/mau
MAILCHECK=600
MF_ADM=adm.cat at Unix
MSG_MAIL=1
MS_PROFILE=1
OPTIND=1
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/mau/bin:.
PFPT=ON
PS1=$
PS2=>
SHELL=/bin/sh
TERM=scoansi
TZ=CST6
4. Per Brian's suggestion, I logged in on the Windows 7 PC to the Unix
system, using the same user login, and did a set|sort> env.txt. The
list below is what I got back.
Windows 7 Env User1
Windows 7 Connection *Set command on SCO Box*
HOME=/usr/mau
HUSHLOGIN=FALSE
HZ=100
IFS=
LOGNAME=mau
MAIL=/usr/spool/mail/mau
MAILCHECK=600
MF_ADM=adm.cat at Unix
MSG_MAIL=1
MS_PROFILE=1
OPTIND=1
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/mau/bin:.
PFPT=ON
PS1=$
PS2=>
SHELL=/bin/sh
TERM=scoansi
TZ=CST6
In this case the only difference I see is COLUMNS=80 and LINES=25.

exec p plant
Bare in mind, that this is the same user on the system and depending on
which system I log in from, W7 or W10, one prints one does not. Because
I am logging into the same user account, I am using the same menus, the
same config files, the same printers. Everything is exactly the same as
far as Unix, filePro, and AlphaCom are concerned. I installed Putty,
Kitty, and Dave's Telnet on my W10 PC and none of these programs would
allow filePro to Hardcopy or form print to the main system printer. All
the settings in the AlphaCom program are exactly the same between PCs
and there is only one fpconfig for all the users which is below.
Filepro Configuration File
Variable Value
PFPROG /usr/appl
printer1 tandy, tandy, lp -dtandy -s
pfprinter lp
printer2 star, epsonfx, lp -dstar -s
printer3 john, hp-6xx, lp -dJohn -s
printer4 xerox, hp-6xx, lp -dxerox -s
printer5 dumb, dumb, lp -dstar -s
PFDSK /usr2: /
printer6 pan2, epsonfx, lp -dpan2 -s
printer7 nancy, epsonfx, >/dev/pri1d
printer8 lp, hp-6xx, lp -dxerox -s
printer9 lab, pan1080i, >/dev/pri1h
pfver on
pfcmark 80
I'm sure there is something else I need to send that I have forgotten.
