ipSpool V1.00 =========== ipSpool is a queue processor that manages the pipe between a printer and an internet address. Keywords: 'IP printing', 'Port 9100', 'Print server'
The story so far ================ I have recently purchased a FRITZ!Box fon WLAN 7170 router. This device supports printing using the 'raw' print spooling mechanism, on port 9100.
No printer port driver exists on OS/2 or eCS to support this 'protocol', if you can call it that. We do have named pipes though, so I decided it could not be too hard to simply spool the data from a named pipe to the ip address of the router. This actually works brilliantly!
