Another note:
The following sequence of commands will get you into major trouble.
If your K95CUSTOM.INI file contains the command
SET PRINTER /WINDOWS-QUEUE:
and you then set the command
SET PRINTER LPT1:
This will result in K95 thinking that your printer is a Windows Printer
Queue with the name "LPT1:". This is because you are not specifying
a flag to change the printer type.
If you want to use the DOS device named "LPT1:" then you must use the
command
SET PRINTER /DOS-DEVICE:LPT1:
to both change the device type and name.
The command
SET PRINTER /WINDOWS-QUEUE
does not specify a printer name. It only changes the printer type.
So if your previous printer name was the default "PRN", then the above
command would be equivalent to
SET PRINTER /WINDOWS-QUEUE:PRN
which is clearly not what you want to be used.
