i have read all the other posts about printers issues.
but i think mine is diffrent.
i just installed this game call En Garde!
and one of the things i want to do is to be able to print out the character sheets.
the program allows me to print, but i need to set up the PRINTERS.DAT file so it will know what printer to print too...
it shows 3 options.
1 is none
2 is a printer i don't have
and 3 is the name of my printer, but with a whole bunch of weird symboles with letters and numbers and "quotation" marks

is that for a mac address or a port address?
i would REALLY like to print that sheet. it would be very helpful to me and my game play.

thank you for your time and help.
