I'm trying to print a pdf file to a network-accessible printer. I saw the post in July by Eugen Ostrowski requesting the same feature but no response. It occurred to me that I might use the print.exe command to print to a network printer if I could get Ghostscript to write the proper file. When using the windows interface I specify mswinpr2 and "magic" happens to select the proper output format. I'm assuming (I know, I know) that gs is writing some kind of magic windows format and that windows is performing the printer-specific translation. If this assumption is true, is it possible to get gs to write this format to a file so I can feed it to print.exe? If not, is there any output format I can select in gs that print.exe will work with when I don't know the printer type? Any other suggestions for how to use print.exe or how to print to a network printer? (Please cc me on responses, I'm not subscribed.) Thanks, -- Robert
