Usage Note 10164: Sysprint and host printing not setting printerpath to null
In SAS 9.1, when you use the SYSPRINT or NOUPRINT options. the
printerpath will not be set to NULL.
Under Windows, the expected behavior is that you can set printerpath
and use printerpath. When you set the value of sysprint or open
teh host printing dialog box and print, you are requesting host
printing, so that the value of printerpath is set to NULL.
In SAS 9.1, the printerpath is not cleared and is used instead of host
printing.
As a workaround, reset printerpath to null with an options statement to
restore host printing as follows:
options printerpath=' ';
