Dyn. 4gl and getting reports from local printers

Hi, We have: solaris 2.6 Online DS 24.uc6 RDS 6.05.UC4 Last month we bougt Dynamic 4GL 3.00.UC1. Previosly we were running our 4GL programs from w98 clients with an emulator(Tun Plus of Esker) and getting out prints from a remote printer defined on server machine. We installed Dynamic 4GL , WTK clients (to w98) and compiled all of our 4GL programs. Everthing seems fine now except printing reports. Each w98 clients have local printers connected to itself. Now What I want is to configure local printers on w98 clients and get the reports from these local printers. Is it possible to do that? if so any help is apprecieted. TIA, Khalil ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1

HI, Have been there, have seen it.... You will have to print to a lpd on the W98 box I have seen thies on the net, but never used it, don't thrust my users to keep it running. For printing to local printer i still have a novell 3.11 with FlexIP (it's a strip down of NFS), It accepts the print jobs form my sun and queue them to the W98 printers. But even this was a burdon on my IT staff, reinstalling printers every time a user crased his machine. Now i have Lantronic printservers attached to the printer. I print from the sun to the FlexIP machine and its queued to the printserver attached to the printer. You can also print direct from sun to the printservers, but then you will have to set op a filter to map cr/lf to cr's. If you have a spare PC to play for printserver i can help with the setup rgds Arthur In article <86rqba$a7q$1@news.xmission.com>, "B.Khalil" <bmkhalil@usa.net> wrote: > > Hi, > We have: > solaris 2.6 > Online DS 24.uc6 > RDS 6.05.UC4 > Last month we bougt Dynamic 4GL 3.00.UC1.
