JSprint Set Printer shared printer

How can I set the printer name in jsprint if it is a shared printer? Because if I just name it as is the printer name I got an error saying that it cannot see the printer.

Thank you guys.

This is from Dimitar Angelov, one of the creators of this wonderful add-on in Firefox that let you automatically print straight without the dialog box showing.

"If you are using network printer, common mistake is wrong using of slashes. For example if UNC name of your printer is \myserver\myprinter As javascript literal you must double slashes, because they are escape characters also. The correct using of this UNC name will be: var myprinter = '\\myserver\myprinter'; alert(myprinter); // to see if name is correct" <

For further questions you can reach him on his email address:
