- If you use CAPTURE, have the second or third lpt: port as the captured port
- (i.e. l=2 or l=3). If the user has a printer connected to lpt1:, for example,
- to print to that printer they would tell their application to print to lpt1:
- (or prn:). If they want to print to the network printer, they tell their
- application to print to lpt2: or lpt3: (whichever one they are redirecting to
- the network printer via their capture command.
-
- You can also set up a print configuration for each user (Using PRINTCON)
- so that no command line options are required for the CAPTURE command.
