Printing in TS (was RE: Telnet with a Windows 2003 server)

[Brian K. White]

> 2) Put the following into a file named "getremotevars.bat":
> rem Get remote variables using RemoteInfo.exe
> for /F %%i in ('remoteinfo.exe 1') do set REMOTE_SESSION=%%i
> for /F %%i in ('remoteinfo.exe 2') do set REMOTE_IP=%%i
> for /F %%i in ('remoteinfo.exe 3') do set REMOTE_MACHINE=%%i
> for /F %%i in ('remoteinfo.exe 4') do set REMOTE_STATION=%%i
> set REMOTE_PRINT=(from %REMOTE_MACHINE%) in session %REMOTE_SESSION%
> 
> 3) From a TS session, run this BAT. It will put into your environment five 
> variables starting with REMOTE. You can look at these with "set". The 
> important one is REMOTE_PRINT, which gives a suffix for your printer name. 
> In my case, for instance, "set" reveals
>   REMOTE_PRINT=(from BOB820) in session 1
> 
> 4) Now suppose I want to print on the printer named "lexmark" on my client 
> PC. I need to construct a name from "lexmark", a space, then the contents 
> of REMOTE_PRINT. For instance, to tell printwiz.exe to print on my 
> printer, I include a parameter:
>       /p"Lexmark %REMOTE_PRINT%"

> I welcome your comments.
