Subject: Re: setting tcp/ip printer in NT

"set printer" by itself goes to the windows default, too.
My solution for the original problem is to Add an LPR PORT under the
PORTS tab of the printer properties, specifying the printer's IP for the
"Name or address of server providing LPD" and RAW1 for the "Name
of printer or print queue on that server." I renamed the printer
something shorter than the typical "HP LaserJet 2100 PCL 6" -- something
like HP2100.
Then in the kermit script I set the printer, specifying the server name
(the NT "Computer Name") followed by the printer, as in:
set printer { \\\\SERVERNAME\\HP2100 }
This seems to work okay. Thanks for your assistance, gentlemen.
