Re: [h-e-w] NTemacs printer setup, IP port on Win2K?

[Raymond Zeitler]

Is this still an issue?  I don't really understand the way that printer is
set up.  But I wonder if you can issue a NET USE command to make this
printer local.

Try entering at the command prompt:

NET USE LPT1:  \\123.456.789.100\pname

where that IP address is the address of the printer, and pname is the
printer's share name.  Then "tell" Emacs to write to LPT1. 

I agree that printers that are not physically attached to your system cannot
be shared.

Can't do.  The reason the printers are defined and handled locally on my PC
is that the "share" mechanism doesn't work, for idiosyncratic reasons
deeply embedded in Microsoft's unintelligible design decisions, as embodied
in our mixed-environment shop.

So I have to go with "local" printers.  Luckily the printers themselves are
smart enough to arbitrate among all their users.
