Hello,
     Has anybody come up with a way to use the lpr command in prtdef?  We have a report archiving system that we send reports to and the laprint command will not work.  I can run it from the command line without any issue's, but I cannot find a way to set it up in prtdef.  I tried using a script, but it looks like it is not getting the directory that the print file is located it.  Any help or suggestions on this?  Thank you.

Ok after combing through some KB articles on Infor support I was able to come up with the code below that works.

[code] cat > D:\lawprod\temp\prtfile.%pid% lpr -Shmcanyq -PAnyqLaw D:\lawprod\temp\prtfile.%pid% rm D:\lawprod\temp\prtfile.%pid% [/code]

The KB article was 1190089.

I forgot to mention that I named the script webprint.bat and in the prtdef I put the script name instead of a printer like so:
[code] /lawprod/gen/bin/webprint [/code]
