Option NAME does not work for me on printers connected to non-local computers.

When I use the NAME option, it works correctly if the invoked printer is connected to the computer. But, it does not work for me, when the printer is on another computer, even though it is shared on the network. That is, it works for me on a local printer. It doesn't work for me on a shared printer.
I need help please.
DCPRINT OPTIONS [NAME <cPrinterName>]
Best regards.

Hi,
This is because the name of the printer is different in that case. Just get a list of the printers, search for the printer you need, and use the complete name.
Code: Select all
cPrinterName := "xxx" -> name of the printer you want to print on.
o := xbpprinter():new()
aPrinters := o:list()
for x = 1 to len(aPrinters)
if cPrinterName $ upper(aPrinters[x])
cPrinterName := aPrinters[x]
endif
next
As result you will have the complete printer name as it is seen in Windows. Now you can use it.
