Does anyone know how to select a printer for printing reports/rlists etc on a MS NT 4.0 Network system. Lets assume there are multiple printers on the network. How would you select which printer to print to within AREV?

Assuming your clients are 95, 98 or NT then easiest way is simply to capture DOS LPT1,2,3 to network printer paths under printer properties and then in Arev just assign LPT1, 2 , 3 to correct printer driver using Environment settings and SETPRINTER.

Tony,
Thanks for the information. It works fine. The only problem is that I/we are used to be able to select any printer on the network (Novell network), whereas with NT I/we are limited to 3 different printers per work station. But it does work, and again thanks a lot!!!

Why not write a printer control program that does a PCPERFORM net use lpt1 \\servername\printername?
