My university uses the PC-NFS net and according to our Net manager the network isn't compatible with Windows making it impossible to print from a Window's application through the net onto a printer. Is there any way around this problem?

While PC-NFS does not have direct support under windows, it is possible to get the two to cooperate. In order to print the PC-NFS printer you must first mount it in DOS with a net use command. Then set up your printer in Windows to print to LPTn:.OS2. This allows windows to recognize the virtual ports that PC-NFS uses. I hope this helps (it works fine for me) Robert Nee

On my PC, I have LPT2 and LPT3 setup as remote PCNFS printers. I can print to LPT2 and LPT3 from Windows with no problems. Chuck -- Chuck H.
