Hi.

I have a network printer used by two PCs. When using certain software it will print automatically (without user intervention) on the local machine but, when printing from the networked one, it always displays the print dialog and you have to hit OK. Is there any way to bypass this dialog? I am using Windows XP.

Have you tried capturing a print queue with NET USE? Sometimes it might work.

Also, you could try enabling a TCP/IP print server on the other PC.
