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,
