in reply to Redirecting print output from WinNT to Unix

Various suggestions: take a look at the perlcookbook (the code is on-line w/ O'Reilly) for a nicer socket, using read and an alarm timeout. Try undefing $/ so you get slurp mode? Make sure the printer on NT will print normally (odd it would send the name of the lpt port as its first word, if it was expecting to be talking w/ a, say, ascii printer) when not redirecting to a remote 3001 port. Look at Net::Daemon (though I think the trouble is w/ NT). Maybe you need to ack somehow and that's what the printer is waiting for ...
