HI Don,

I think you can do it 2 ways With Windows

1) you can use Net Use command and map the port to any Network printer.=20

         i.e. C:>NET USE LPT1: \SERVER\PRINTER_Q

2)or you can write a small program to pop up the windows printer
selection box for users to pick the printer and just set it to default

=20

Hope this will help you

Hi,

=20

I am in the middle of migrating a fairly large app from the HP3000 to
Windows.  Fooling around with all the various ways to handle printed
output from QUIZ (8.41.D). I need to settle on a method for re-directing
printed output from batch jobs.

=20

 I am wondering if anyone has any doco, or better yet a working example,
of the PH_PRINTER env variable on Windows.  Can't figure out what to set
it to, or even if it works.  Would be a nice option in some cases if I
could make it behave.=20

=20

I have a similar problem with the DESTINATION option of SET REPORT.
Anyone made this work on Windows?  Output just keeps going to the
default printer regardless of what I try.

=20

Last but not least anyone tried SET REPORT DEVICE PRINTER <string> -
this one is in the migration guide. Not sure what <string> should be.
I did check my QUIZ reference manual, but it was not much help. It
mentions all these approaches, but that's about it. Where can I find
any doco on this? I am probably not looking in the right place.

=20

I sure wish Windows had file equations - so far this is the thing I miss
the most.  Any help would be appreciated.=20
