Spooling for Native Windows filePro

Windows apparently doesn't spool print jobs sent by native windows console

applications to local printer ports, the way that it does for MS-DOS programs

that do the same thing. (That is, open "lpt1" as a file and write to it.)

We have added the necessary code to the native windows version of filePro

to use the Windows printer routines (ie: OpenPrinter, StartDocPrinter, etc.)

which do respect the Windows spooler. However, the spooler is also limited

to those printers defined in the printer control panel. Therefore, we have

made it a requirement that, in order to use the Windows spooler, you must

prefix the filePro destination with "win:", as in "win:lpt1:". The rest

of the destination must be the exact port name or printer name as you have

defined it to Windows. So, if you have a printer attached to LPT1 that is

named "HP DeskJet 870Cse", you would use either:

win:lpt1:

or win:HP DeskJet 870Cse

If you have a network printer "\\server\printer" that is captured to LPT2,

called "Bob's printer", and the Windows destination is "\\server\printer"

then you would use either:

win:\\server\printer

or win:Bob's printer

You could not use "win:lpt2:" as "lpt2" is not the destination that Windows

knows the printer by. (Though you could use "lpt2" without the "win:" and

go directly to that port without the spooler.)

Remember: You can only use the exact port name or printer name that Windows

uses. Anything else will result in a "the parameter is incorrect" error when

filePro tries to open the printer.
