Well, it's not hooked up to the linux box's parallel device, it's hooked up
to the windows parallel device. The command (well, a variant of it) works
on the windows box just fine. On the linux box it says no such device,
which makes sense because I'm not point it to the network and my other machine.
Am I missing something here? (seems likely...)
