   Thanks for pointing that out, I'd forgotten I could do that.   
      
   OTOH, I'm not sure this provides a facility for installing the print   
   device, or the port, if neither are installed yet.   
      
      
   In fact, though, I've been pointed to RINSTPRN.EXE, which is the   
   CID printer installer... it seems quite capable.  I'm going to play   
   with that and see if it does the job.   
      
   If not, I may go back to the setup strings...   
      
      
   Thanks for this and the other suggestions, guys!
