[Rpcemu] Network Printing from RPCEmu

Hello,

I am using v0.94 of RPCEmu on a Windows 10 machine
to emulate RiscOS v4.02. It works well and I can
access websites from RiscOS using !Netsurf v3.10.

I need to be able to access a network printer on
the host network (say at address 192.168.1.15) and
have not yet been able to achieve that. Printing
via PDFPrint, transferring the file through hostfs,
then using a Windows host machine to print the file
on the network printer is far too slow, although
it does work.

I was hoping to be able to use the network printer
directly with a RiscOS driver such as RemotePrinterFS.
The script 'RemotePrinterFS#proto=LPD;address=192.
168.1.15;sendfirst=controlfile:' works well from
native RiscOS machines to the network printer.

Is there any way this could be achieved on emulated
RiscOS machines, using RPCEmu? I had wondered if the
recent addition of port forwarding to RPCEmu might
be the answer, but I cannot find any instructions on
its use and comments from user groups seem to suggest
that its principal use is to facilitate the hosting
of a RiscOS website server under RPCEmu. A very useful
purpose, but the ability to print files quickly is
more important from my viewpoint.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Many thanks, John Bilton
