Gee, I'd hoped you'd come up with a better answer than that… 🙂 If we make
our own PRT: handler, and intercept all calls to it and move them across the
network to another machine, presumably we'd need to have some way to access an
unaltered PRT: handler on the destination machine, so it could pass through the
Preferences drvier on that machine. If some programs use printer.device
directly – and why not? – then we're still stuck.
And you can't zap "serial.device" to "modem0.device" after the printer.device
has been loaded, and you can't flush it unless nothing else is in the system.
And is there a way to flush only only device from memory, without flushing
every other zero-count device or library or font from the system at the same
time?
