Fox 9 and Dos Printing Commands

I am trying to send a report over the network to an HP LaserJet 4 printer attached to another computer (\\akl1\hplj4).  I tried 3-different ways to print the report. Here is the original FPDOS command: !copy /b contrac1.txt+crtinvce.pcl+outfile.txt lpt1 > nul

contrac1.txt is Hex code to set up the printer.
crtinvce.pcl is bitmapped code to produce a logo.
outfile.txt is straight ASCII characters (the report).

Can you suggest a way I can print this report?


Thank You

Hello Dave Baldwin... The printer being used is USB. There is no parallel port on the computer. Also, reports created using standard @ … Say does print over the network. When I setup to use Printer Pooling I get the same result… The output does not make it to the printer. Any suggestions? Thanks for all your help.
