trying to print on a system where the printer is configured to TCP\IP port

[bszcz]

what can be done to print on a system where the network printer is configured to a TCP|IP port rather than LPT1. what can be added to filepro in printer maintenance that will direct the output to the printer???

thank you for the help

In printer maintenance, simply specify the destination as...

                       win:yourprintername

So if the windows name for the printer is "office" then in the config file
set the destination to        win:office

If you only have a handful of printers, then just select the "P" option
in printer maintenance.

thank you for your input.Unfortunately I still get the "invalid argument" error message.
in the Windows printers and faxes box the default printer is named "Brother MFC-9440CN Printer on wausau-dc". I entered this in the printer maintenance under the destination after putting in "win:" before the name and I stil get  the error message.

If you have 5.6.02 or later, then you can use the F6 key in printer maintenance's "destination" field to bring up a list of printers as known to Windows.

What happens if you rename the printer in windows to a name that has no spaces?

For a test, just call it      Brother.

Then use    win:Brother     as the fp destination and report back.
