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.
