TCP/IP print server using USB printer

[Darren]

I'm trying to setup Print Services to allow clients to print to port 9100 on XP just like they can do to the laser printer sitting on the network.

I read through some old posts, and many others have asked the same question, but the answer is simply install Print Services for Unix. I can't find any setup guide, I've looked in the XP help and searched MSDN.

I have to print from a device that only supports printing to a PCL3 network printer.

TIA

I'm not trying to print to a network printer. I'm trying to run a service on XP that listens on port 9100 and forwards print jobs to a USB printer.

"I'm not trying to print to a network printer"
That's what you think!

In effect, you are providing a network printer and services via win XP and
your local USB printer.

I'm not trying to print to a network printer. I'm trying to run a service

You will need to write an application that provides that support. XP does
not contain any software service for this functionality.

go "Control Panel" -> "Software" -> change to folder "windows components" ->
"other file & print services" -> TCP/IP services for Unix

Sorry, I don't know the exact wording in english, as I only have access to
german versions.
