The process goes something like this:

When you open the printer, COSP calls windows (or PDF Factory, or Adobe) to open a print job. It supplies the printer name that it makes from the program name etc.

You can then subsequently issue a (document=) mnemonic. That name is remembered until AFTER the printer is closed at which time, the print job is COPIED to that file name. The file name is also returned to the program in # buffer.

The problem is timing. There is no chance to issue a mnemonic before the open, and the open needs to supply the document name.

The only way I can see to fix this problem is to re-invent the open call to include a document name...

Open(1)'LP1:MyDOC'

or

open(1)'lp1',document='docname'

This is not a trivial task, but could be done.
