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

[Greg Yasko]

Okay. Using the lpr.exe from C:\WINNT\system32 I can print from MSDOS.

Issuing "lpr -S 192.168.0.1 -P HP_LaserJet_6L -d test" prints my test 
file. How could I translate that to the necessary .emacs file entries?

Thanks.
