Until now I got it working the following way: To begins, there must be some software installed in the PATH: 1. WatTCP (http://www.bgnett.no/~giva/) 2. LPT2FILE (http://sac-ftp.externet.hu/utiltext15.html) 3. JD.EXE from PPRD 2.0 (http://www.smashco.com/wattcp/pprd200.zip) 4. A packet driver for the network card I made a simple batch file, which calls the application I want to print with, catch all the LPT stuff to a file, and finally send the LPT file to the network printer: ------ [netprint.bat] ------ LPT2FILE %1 LPT2FILE %TEMP%\PRINTME.PRN JD %TEMP%\PRINTME.PRN DEL %TEMP%\PRINTME.PRN ------------------------- Now, I have just to invoke the program I want with "netprint program.exe", and all printing stuff will be done at the program's end. Of course, wattcp.cfg have to be configured according to the given LAN, and those lines have to be added: PRINTERHOST = 192.168.xxx.xxx PORTBASE = 9100 PRINTERNUM = 0 It's maybe not the most "elegant" way, but it works :-) I tested that solution with the following printing software: WordPerfect 6.0, MS EDIT 2.0.026, PrintPartner 3.5, BannerMania 1.00, EnVision Pro 2.04, and I hadn't any troubles.
