[Wine] Re: print directly on another computer's LPT

it works now.

the network (samba) printer must be installed using "Generic - text-only" driver. in my example, i named it "EpsonLX".

in my application i wrote:

DocInfo.pDocName = "whatever";
DocInfo.pOutputFile = NULL;
DocInfo.pDataType = "RAW"; 

OpenPrinter( "EpsonLX", &handle, NULL );
StartDocPrinter( handle, 1, &DocInfo );
StartPagePrinter( handle );
WritePrinter( handle, buffer, buffersize );
EndPagePrinter( handle );
EndDocPrinter( handle );
ClosePrinter( handle );

still not as fast as windows (needs 15 - 20 seconds to print, while
in windows only took 2 - 3 seconds to print), but it works.
