Raw Print Server

It's save my life, really :) USB printing from windows local port method works slowly over vpn. The printing from SAP takes 30-120 secs, but with this utility it takes 1-2 secs! :) Thanks :)

(Win7) This mini-service appears easy enough to install, once you figure out the process: 1) move the exe to somewhere in your %PATH% or update the %PATH% with the location 2) open a cmd AS ADMINISTRATOR, even if you already are (avoids Error 5) 3) run your INSTALL or REMOVE with the right printer name exactly (see the Readme) 4) add a firewall rule for TCP 9100 incoming It should work from there. Features in a quick test appear to be exactly what I needed - no silly frills, but all the requirements covered well. Don't remove the binary or revert your %PATH% until after removing the service! There's one untouched support ticket in the queue now, from 6 years ago. I worry no one's watching that queue.

Works well for me with Windows 7 (x64) for legacy HP printer which had no native networking support. Thanks

This is very slick and beats messing around with Windows printer sharing for simple printing tasks.

It works. Very useful if you want to share a printer thru another computer, not the one it's physically connected to. Just an advice: the .EXE needs to be on the path for this to work as a service.
