2009: Printing to network-printer

[Atrusty]

We have a network-printer-server and can plot from AutoCAD to the printer named "\\AAAAAA999srv\Mono2" & collect the print from the nearest network-printer. I have a plotting macro, which sets all the parameters of the PLOT command. How do I store the name of this printer in the macro ?

The printer-name is stored as a string in the macro. The macro worked fine earlier with a local printer, which did not have any "\" characters in it's name.

I tried putting "\\\\AAAAAA999srv\\Mono2" & "//AAAAAA999srv/Mono2" as the string value - neither worked.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'd use

(strcat (chr 92) (chr 92) "AAAAAA999srv" (chr 92) "Mono2")

which returns "\\\\AAAAAA999srv\\Mono2"
It might help if you post the entire macro for us to look at.

As Page Setups make plotting much easier and are needed for using Publish they're in my templates for all layouts.
