Hi,
I've a c program that prints to network printer by
getting a filehandle from
fopen("\\computer1\printer1", "wb"). That has always
worked on Windows 95, 98 & 2000.
When it's running under windows xp (sp1 or sp2), fopen
returns a NULL. Has any one had a similar problem? Is
there a solution to this?
Thank you
