Subject:Re: Printing with ETKA

Until I got Terminal Services running on my server-in-the-basement, I
ran ETKA on Virtual PC on my Mac, and printed to an HP 1100, shared on
a different Windows box. It worked very well.
You may want to make sure that every single driver that relates to the
printer in any way is current. Printer, display, and any MS Service
Packs that seem to relate.
One important point may be to assign an actual printer port on your
machine to the printer's network name, instead of just having that name
as the local port name, which tends to be the default. I'd use LPT2,
just so your local hardware port remains open.
