[comp.protocols.nfs] Printing Word via PC-NFS

leeh7@fel.tno.nl (Ed van Leeuwen) (06/21/91)

L.S.,

I saw someone using the "net print" command in PC-NFS for
printing (Word) postscript files.

As we have had serious problems with this, we have found out
that there is only one way without failure or loss of
information:

rsh "host" lpr -P"laser" < "postscript file"

If you have a small file you can use the "net print" command
or even send the output to a device (e.g. lpt3) using the
Print->File option and the printer hotkey. Note however that
this will work only for small files.

					Regards,

					Ed.
