Printername syntax

[John Esak]

In now way do I presume to know the anser to this one... but you appear to
trying the syntax for a USB printer. I would choose to add a new port.. then
add a "Standard TCP/IP Port" and put in its IP address. At this point, you
should be abel to print to the regular name of the printer from filePro.
Well, this is true if you are using let's say a typical network printer from
HP or Brother. In odd cases you may need to choose "Other" and add a bit of
info along with re-loading the driver supplied witht the printer. I ahd to
do this with my new label printer on a wireless network adapter.
