Hi! I've read the recent threads on this subject and have not been able to successfully set up the printer to print from DOS. Current situation:
We have 2 desktops - using WinME and a new dell laptop using XP pro. They have been successfully networked and mapped. The problem I face is that when I add the network printer it automatically assigns the port as the name of the computer\name of printer. I tried selecting LPT1 but it will not let me select it. So when I keyed: net use lpt1: \\computername\printersharename /persistent:yes it does not work. I don't know what to key in instead of lpt1 -any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!
Sincerely,
Caroline
