messed with

  YEAH!   Help on capture port led me to "net use" with an explanation
  of how to assign a printer port (e.g. LPT3) to my remote printer.  The
  precise command for those peeking at our conversation was:
  net use lpt3 \\\
  /persistent:yes

  (all on one line, and with the appropriate things substituted for
   and .

  Now I can do a print over the LAN from BlueWave and from MealMaster --
  before I could not.   Thanks a bunch.
