We have our users directing their screen prints by specifying which printer port their output is sent to using the terminal emulator (IBM Telnet), and assigning a network printer to that port using Windows.
Alternatively, we have created a user profile which sets the environmental variable LPDEST to the appropriate printer queue. SQLForms will then send screen prints to this queue, through its 'print' function rather than the 'screen print' key method above. This is maintained at a admin level though so is more static.
