Also worth to note is that if you want to print from Windows (3.x - I
haven't tried with Win9x and it's reported to not work) you need to choose
a port (LPT1 for instance) to be redirected to the printer on the network
(this is easiest added to autoexec.bat). To be able to print you will then
need to install the printer drivers in Windows and choose the port as
LPTx.DOS (LPT1.DOS in this case).
