Hmm.. tell me if this sounds right please.

I downloaded the module (lets say the folder is C:\windows\desktop\Win32-Printer-0.8.0 ) and then I downloaded nmake. I copied the nmake files into the module folder and ran:

1) perl Makefile.pl (it says that it couldnt find some .lib files but that its probably harmless)
2) nmake (well i pretty much just stop here cause it gives me the error in my above post)

Did I forget to put nmake in my path or what? I appreciate all the help your trying to give me.

!EDIT: I've found out that it requires compilation since it has an .XS file in the archive. I'm guessing you didn't run into this because you have Visual C++ installed. It required the file 'cl.exe'. I'll update when again when/if I figure things out.
