I was wondering if anyone in this group has successfully connected a 
printer under Windows NT. I have the following entry in my princap


rpr|hp550c:\
        :lp=:rm=vision:rp=lpt1:sd=/var/spool/hp550c:mx#0:

The problem seems to be what to call this printer. Lpq tells me that 
there is no such printer on Windows NT. So what name do I give the 
printer so that it gets recognized?

Thank you for any suggestions.
