Remote Printing Using LogMeIn or GoToMyPC

[SteveDCI]

I recently converted old Clipper code to an xHarbour application. I
was very pleased with the way the new code utilized the Windows
printers on the local box, however when I try to access this box using
LogMeIn or GoToMyPC I am unable to use the remote printing feature.
Using LogMeIn, I remotely connected to the host PC running the
xHarbour app and was able to open the browser on the host and print a
web page to my local printer but when I try the remote printing in the
xHarbour app, the job appears to begin spooling on my local printer
but I did not get the printout. Any ideas on what is going on here
and how to correct it will be greatly appreciated?

Hello !
I have had the same problem. Set default printer via windows control
panel, as a local printer of remote station, first.
Define variable like
"def_printer:=getdefaultprinter()"
and use this variable before any print job.
---
set device to print
set printer to (def_printer)
---
or in runtime:
set printer to (getdefaultprinter())

K_dima thanks for your reply! I believe that I was already doing what
you suggested in the coding changes I made to my Clipper app. I pick
up on the default printer with GetDefaultPrinter() and then give the
user a chance to select other printers by getting all installed
Windows printers using GetPrinters(). I display the active printer so
that the user can keep track of what is selected.

Late last night I called GoToMyPC Tech Support and we got it to print
to the remote computer's printer. What we had to do is install that
remote computer' printer on the host machine using the GoToMyPC
Printer Port and then select that printer, NOT the GoToMyPC printer
for printing. I have not tried it with LogMeIn yet but my intention
would be to attempt something similar.
