Please give some more details.
Your printer definitions are probably not correct.

Don't you need to issue a "NET USE LPTx machine\printer_name" command?

The network printers need to be set to capture to LPT1 otherwise they won't be seen. On installation you are asked whether you wish to use the printer with DOS apps and you must respond "Yes". (Actuall I can't remember whether it does ask this with network printers but you definitely need to capture to a port).

Do what Andy McCauley told you. You MUST capture a port in order to print to networked printers. Then you also should issue a "setprinter" command before you send stuff to the printer. Be sure you have configured printers in arev as LPT1 and LPT2. We print a form and a file label every time we interview a client. The forms printer is lpt1 and the label printer is lpt2. a macro runs setprinter 1 and setprinter 2 and they both print.
