On Win95, you might be better off re-directing one of your local LPTx:
ports using the `NET USE' command.  E.g.:

  C:\> net use lpt1: \\HP_Network_Printers\(printer_name)

Then you can copy or re-direct data bound for the printer directly to
the LPTx: device.  E.g.:

  C:\> enscript -2r test.c > lpt1:

or

  C:\> copy test.c lpt1:

depending on whether your printer expects to see PostScript or plain
text.

Hope this helps.
