get documents printed from my laptop on networked computers without the
neccessary software. I can "print to file" the documents and they come out
at only 10Kb or so, but how do I get these to print on a networked XP
machine? On win98 you can map an lpt port and DOS copy to the port, but how
in XP when "copy" doesn't exist, dragging the file to he printer tries to
open an application and the port is a network IP adress?
