A first stab at it, trying to use Capture Port as LPT3 and adding that to
settings.dfl didn't work, but maybe the driver I was trying to use is
wrong. I'm using an HP PSC 2200 (a multipurpose printer that is only USB),
and I got "printer error" when I tried it under W98 SE. If anyone gets Xy
to print to a USB printer, please let us know.
I can print to it with Xy over the LAN, but only if the printer is attached
to a computer other than my own--come to think of it, I did use the driver
for that that didn't work when I tried it just now. You'd think there'd be
a way to fool the drivers into sending stuff to be printed over the network
and then back here.
