What is the name of the printer under printer and devices?

Your destination should be win:windows printer name.  You cannot use the ip
address or driver as a destination.

Richard,

I replaced the IP address, 192.168.1.100,  with the device name, HP 
Officejet 6300 series,  so that the printer definition is now:

printer1=print_it,HP_OJ,192.168.1.100,send the output to the system printer.

but I still get no output going to the printer.
