I tried to set WINPRINT-JOB-TITLE using WINPRINT-SET-PRINTER-EX. This works great in normal 6.2 environment, but it does not do anything in thin environment. It doesn't even trigger a "wprterr-unsupported" error. The server is w2k3 and the client is XP-pro, both with a 6.1 runtime.

Why is this not working ? Is it because it is a Thin client setup or is it because it is 6.1 or is it both :confused:

Could i work around this anyhow?
I notice that the job title is the same as the title of the main application window. (At least when winprint-set-printer-ex fails)
So what if i briefly changed the application title, initiate the spool job, then changed it back ?? would this do me any good ?
How would i do that by the way ?

WINPRINT-JOB-TITLE should be able to set in TC environments just as for a local runtime. If this does not work I suggest you contact Tech Supp so we can log it as a possible bug. Please provide a small sample program. The smaller the sample is, the faster is the turnaround for you to have this fixed, if need be.
