Re[2]: printing

Jeff:
A trick which I found very useful is to define the print queue name in the
following format
 //printer_server_name/printer_name.

For some reason if you use the regular UNC convention with the back slash, SQR
does not work. This should work.

Good luck

Sujith

Jeff:

On the output destination, type the full path of the printer.
I believe the default is LPT1.  LPT1 may not be mapped.

For example, you would type in:   \\network_drive\printer
