is it not starting to be a cheaper option to get an old LPT printer and attach it to the client computer, instead of letting you spend days figuring out a network share?
Not when WINXPBOX is really nine different machines.
Yes. The theory is that the DOS program will send the job to the LTP1 printer you setup in windows which will put the job in PS/PCL format, which, when sent to the port, will then get shipped off to the network printer becuase the actual port is mapped to the server.
...it's all theoretical mind you, I've never done it before, but it's worth a shot. All other sane options have been exhausted, so time to try the crazy.
And no printer has to be physically connected to the computer to setup a printer. That's why you uncheck the "search for printers" option when setting it up.
