I've already tried this a couple of times to no avail, so I'll put the 
question to the netters. . . 

I'm running Windows 3.0 off my server (so I've already got the network kludges
ironed out :) and attempting to print to my HPIIISi that's sitting off the 
server.  I have my local printer ports captured and set up the printer 
definitions in Windows to print to the local ports (I think; that's what it 
looks like, anyway).  I'm using the HPIII definition supplied with Windows.  
My two attempts to get output from Write resulted in half a ream of gibberish
each.

before I continue this wasteful testing to see what's going on, I though I'd 
see if anyone out there has this (hopefully) set up correctly and could give
me some pointers.  I've got the new HP driver on order from HP, and I hope that
takes care of the difficulty, but I want to make sure I'm not overlooking
anything here.

Any comments/suggestions/ideas welcome, email or on the net.  Many thanks in
advance!!
