Printer destination - rant

[rkreiss]

Windows filePro

filePro will accept win:lpt1 as a valid destination.

Then why will it not accept IP_192.168.nn.nn(port designation), a network
printer destination, as a valid destination?

It would seem to me that being able to specify a specific IP address would
make life much simpler the using a printers name.  This is especially true
in the Windows environment where each computer needs to have the same
printer name unless they are are local printer connected to lpt1.  this is
getting rarer and rarer as parallel ports are being replaced by USB or
network printers.  Even the most modestly priced printer are network
enabled; either wired or wireless.
