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

Subject: HP to Windows QUIZ printing
=20
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
