   That sounds easier to do than the method Jeff Guerdat said for me to do   
   to allow SLMR to print to a USB printer.   
      
   I have a Batch File that uses a NET USE command to do what You helped   
   Your wife to do to print with her new printer.   
      
   At the end of the NET USE line in the .BAT file is "persistant:yes" so   
   to keep that setting remembered so I don't have to run the .BAT every   
   time I wanted to print a message I read in SLMR while I was using it.
