>>I would like to simulated on my computer printing to a network printer defined with name like \\myserver\printername (of course, using the syntax: set printer to name (pcPrinterName)). My local printer name is "HP DeskJet 712C".
>>
>>How can I make it work with something like the \\mypc\HP DeskJet 712c? What would be [\\mypc] on my pc? Would it be PC name in the properties?
>>
>>Thank you in advance for any help.

Thank you very much. Yes, I just tried it and so far, no error.
