SUMMARY
In the Visual FoxPro Version 3.0 Help file, the syntax given for connecting to a network printer is incorrect.



MORE INFORMATION
The incorrect syntax: SET PRINTER TO [\\MachineName\PrinterName = Destination] The correct syntax: SET PRINTER TO NAME [\\ServerName\PrinterName] This syntax is valid only in Windows NT. It does not work under Windows 95 or Win32s. Unlike Windows NT, neither Windows 95 nor Win32s supports automatic driver downloading. Without automatic driver downloading, the user must select a printer driver in the control panel to go along with the network address.

This documentation error was corrected in Visual FoxPro 3.0b for Windows.

For additional information on the SET PRINTER command, please see the "SET PRINTER" topic in the Help file.
