Re: Share name for IP print device?

[Evan Harris <auctionitis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Justin

further to Scott's reply, I think I understand that you are doing the
following:
- Printer is connected to PC by USB cable
- You are sharing the printer using Windows
- You want to print from the i to that share

At one point in the past I did this for a customer using remote outqueues
on the i; the trick was to install the WIndows utilities for unix and set
up an LPD/LPR daemon on Windows. I was able to specified the shared queue
name on the i remote outqueue definition.

Sorry, but that's as far as my memory takes me - I am looking for my notes
at the moment...
