Re: Printing in Windows w/ NetGear FR114P Firewall/Printserver

[Greg Yasko <ryasko@gator.net>]

Please assist further if possible.

When I try "net view" I get "RICHARD-LGFRTR7" and no associated printers 
when typing "net view RICHARD_LGFRTR7". But when I look in the 
properties page for the printer control panel the port name is FR114P_P1 
and the device address is 192.168.0.1.

Have tried the following and also have substituted "RICHARD-LGFRTR7" to 
no effect:

(setq lpr-command "")
(setq printer-name "FR114P_P1")
(setq ps-lpr-command "")
(setq ps-printer-name "FR114P_P1")

Also, the description of "net use" in the emacs manual is for a shared 
printer connected to another computer. My printer is hooked up to a 
NetGear FR114P Gateway/Router & not directly to another PC.

I have no idea how to print directly from DOS with this setup & have 
tried a number of things.

Thanks again.
