RE: script for USB printers

["Paul Ambos" pambos@xxxxxxxx]

My problem is printing locally (remotely) to a USB printer through a
GoToMyPC connection to my office copy of Xy4. I haven't been able to get
DOS applications on my office computer to print over the GoToMyPC
connection. Has anyone solved this one?

Regards,

Aha! Well that's another kettle of fish entirely. I've
no experience with either WiFi or print servers (I see
the use of the latter--twice co-workers have been
surprised to discover that you cannot print to a
printer if the PC it's hooked up to isn't on!--but I've
never been able to find them cheap enough to justify).
You're saying that printing over the WiFi print server
is noticeably slower than over the parallel cable?
