Hello, I'm wondering if i try a good solution for the following problem:
We have an old DOS Application running on a W2K-Server which uses normal DOS-print and a workstation(w2k) in an outlet connected to the server via VPN. The workstation uses remote desktop to run the software and prints to LPT 1,2,3 on the server. If I redirect the servers LPT's to a lokal printer of the workstation, printing is to slow. So I need a solution for this. My solution is as follow: 1: capture DOS-print to file =>solved 2: compress printfile => solved 3: open a socket, transfer file to desktop 4: decompress file step 3 and 4 is to develop a socket with python 5: print it on lokal printer => solved What do you think about it. I think of sockets because step 4 should be done automatically when the file arrives at the workstation. Otherwise I have to check a directory on the workstation for incomming files every 20 seconds. Sorry, for asking a question that is not pure python. But I'm still learning and to know that python is not good for that, helps me also out :-) regards, Jürgen ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
