Re[2]: PeopleSoft SQR Support Strategies

[Randy Meyer <rmeyer@MEMC.COM>]

     Mark,

     As an added note, Bruce is refering to a network defined printer.  To
     my knowledge you cannot print a report, run on the server, to a local
     workstation printer (LPT1).  The server has no knowledge of its
     existance.

Bruce,

It is possible print server SQR's to the local printer. We do something
like "/tmp/ +p-dpq_acctg_15" where pq_acctg_15 is the network print
queue.
