Remote printing using PC Anywhere 11.5

[Tom Lansing]

Maybe I have not made myself clear. I am calling from an XP machine to 
another XP machine and wish to print the output to my printer instead of the 
host machine's parallel port. PC Anywhere remote prinitng is supposed to 
substitute my local port  for the host's local port. Does the pcaw port only 
intercept the Windows spooler or does this also work in filePro? I know I 
used to be able to do this in older versions
