Path of Printer

[skghosh44]

I am writing a programme in Visual Foxpro, where I have to select network(LAN) printer for printing in the programme. The command is as under
\\network name \printer name = desitnation
Now how I have to find out these all and create the command to work in Visual
Foxpro.
By default the output is direct to the printer installed in the node. If there is no printer in the node, it does not print anything.
If shall be very gratefull if any one solve my problem.
thanks in advance.

Hi,

If a printer is a network printer, then you do not need to open using \\?\\<device name>.
but you can use ip address of that printer, to get the ip address you can check properties in your printer settings [port config].

send your file directly to the printer using ip address.
