Windows XP and 2 printers

 Relative to my problem with printing with 2 printers connected to the PC
Win XP Filepro 5.0.14. I now have both printers working in Windows and
Filepro. However the  Filepro printing is being done through PFPRT for
either.

I think the problem may have something to do with the fact that I have both
printers connected to the PC via USB ports.

Try using	 \\compaq\HPDeskjet
		\\compaq\HP Photosmart C4100	**

**This is a windows only printer - See John Esaks replay re Anzio
PrintWizard.

PrintWizard can take the pcl output as you sent to the DeskJet and translate
it automatically for the C-4100.

They also supply an Fp print table which you can use.  Check out the Anzio
web site.  

PrintWizard is a lot more flexible the supplied RTF program.
