Are you printing across the network? Which OS have you upgraded from? Since
WindowsXP, cross-network printing seems to be treated differently.
This caused me a lot of hassle at the time. I don't fully recall what way I
was doing it before, but now you need to SET PRINTER TO NAME ( )
I _think_ I was previously using macro substitution for the name or
something, but I think this way is backwards-compatible with older OSes so I
probably should've been doing it that way all along.
*STOP PRESS*
Just thought ...Now that I think of it again, I believe its related to the
way XP (and presumably 2003) refer to another workstation...
\\ServerName\PrinterName, whereas before just the PrinterName was used.
HTH,
