Re: Terminal printer issue
If you use the redirection wizard, you don't have to make the
changes by hand, because that's what the wizard does for you. You
can open the ntprint.inf file in notepad and search for the line
which (presumably) now maps your printer to a native printer.
The only disadvantage of making changes to the default ntprint.inf
file, as opposed to creating an additional custom ntprintsubs.inf
file is that the ntprint.inf file might be overwritten by a
software update, and it will be more difficult to see at a glance
which customizations you made.
