URGENT help with printing required

[Johnny Noitargim]

Hi everyone,

please bear with me as I may not be very good at explaining this well but I
will do my best:

Our company is currently using a legacy application that was written
entirely on Access 97. It all works well and behaves itself apart from one
thing: printing.

With my limited Access knowledge I have identified that the application
reads all its settings from an .ini file everytime it starts and the printer
setting are one of them. This is what the print section of the .ini looks
like:

; The following section requires the printer name exactly
; as it appears in the Printer Setup Dialog (e.g. HP LaserJet 4).
; Printer trays are identified as follows...
;
; 0 - Default Tray (determined by the printer driver)
; 1 - Upper Tray
; 2 - Lower Tray
; 3 - Manual Feed (often used to override the default tray
; for the first page)
; 4 - Envelope
;
; Other values may be available depending on your printer
; driver.

Copy1Tray=0
Copy2Printer=
Copy2Tray=
Copy3Printer=
Copy3Tray=

As we have now redesigned most of our network with all the printers running
off a print server I need to move all of the users to print to a HP 2200.
What I did is this:

Copy1Printer=HP LaserJet 2200 on \\server\hplj2200

This comes back with a "Printer error" and I have tried almost every
combination of path/printer name in there.

Can someone help me by telling me what needs to go in that line? Do I need
the name and the path? What name does it need???

Many thanks in advance for your help!

J.

I could be wrong and if so, I should be lashed with a wet
noodle, but:

I think that whatever you have set up as a printer in
windows / control panel / printers is what you have to put
in here, not necessarily what is setup on the network. In
fact, I believe that when you setup a printer in windows,
it should be filling in your .ini file for you.

If I'm wrong, please correct me.
