Don's suggestion will probably be your best bet to get the exact printer
address. You can take a shortcut and just set the printer up manually, then
run this lilltle snippet to see what the address looks like:
i = var
Each client's printer address is different when printing to the server. The
"Ne0i" looks for that var. The prtTest() displays the address to the default
printer on that local machine. What I'm looking for is a way to change the
default printer to a network printer, print my spreadsheet, then change back
to the local default printer.
I understand the i variable, but you used a 1 when you concatenated the Ne0
and you used a periord (.) instead of a colon). If you used the period in
your actual code, it could affect the results. Sometimes the typos can be
as devastating as bad code.
"Each client's printer address is different when printing to the server"
I am not sure what you mean by this statement. The Ne01, Ne02, etc. are
intranet ports and I don't know that they would need 99 ports to handle the
print demands. But I am not a techie, so what do I know. I just don't
recall ever seeing more that two ports for network printers on a single
workstation.
