I'm encountering a wierd issue with Set_Printer in 9.2. When I execute the following code, stat is set to True after each line, but nothing prints:

stat=Set_Printer("INIT") ;* Start printing

stat=Set_Printer("TEXT", "Test 1 2 3") ;* Print text

stat=Set_Printer("TERM") ;* End printing

If I execute this next block, it will take me to page setup, wehere I click ok, and it will print:

stat=Set_Printer("INIT",,,,,1) ;* Start printing

stat=Set_Printer("TEXT", "Test 1 2 3") ;* Print text

stat=Set_Printer("TERM") ;* End printing

If I execute this last block, it will print directly to the printer:

stat=Set_Printer("INIT",,,,,0) ;* Start printing

stat=Set_Printer("TEXT", "Test 1 2 3") ;* Print text

stat=Set_Printer("TERM") ;* End printing

Why does the first block not work? It functions in 8.0.3 just fine. I'm not sure if I have an evironment setup issue here or if this is a genuine difference in behavior.

Thanks in advance,

Cully

In 9.2 there is a new version of OIPI called OIPI.Net. Looks like this version does not allow for an INIT command without any parameters. As a work around either switch to the old version or use the parameters.

I was afraid of that. Thanks Bob.
