Re: Winprint

Jordan and John,

Did you get all this to work to your satisfaction? I have not tested
this, and normally do not print from Xy, so I am just asking out of
curiosity.


There are other utilities that could be of use for this kind of setup,
like this freeware program: http://lerup.com/printfile/
Read more about it at:

Then there is this pcl program:
Demo: http://www.pclreader.com/ and corresponding paid software:
