Printing in NT to non active printer (AREV Specific)

We have a number of different printers our AREV system prints to. One of them, a dot matrinx used for lable printing, was never selected as the active printer but we were still able to print to it with reports that used it as thier default printer. We recently upgraded to NT 4.0 and connected the printer to this server. What happens now is that the print job goes to the selected active printer no matter which printer is selected as the default for the report. Our label printer is mapped to lpt3 in arev and our work stations re-direct the print job to the correct printer.
Please advise.

Usually you need to precede your AREV session with
something like:
NET USE \\server\device LPT1: /PERSISTENT=Y
NET USE \\server\device LPT2: /PERSISTENT=Y
syntax ahead of your AREV session. Check your NT
documentation for the exact syntax.
Also, see http://www.jsiinc.com for NT tips
including some specific ones about printing.
