NET USE printing

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

My DOS application needs to print on server 2003 printers
and shared usb printers on workstations. I've tried
things like "net use lpt1 \\server\HP 400\" etc without
success. Where can I learn all there is to know about
NET USE?

I still need a little more help. The documentation is
very good but it does not cover my printer problem. It
does not show an example of how to hook up to a shared
printer, where it would equate LPT1 to that device. I am
typing something wrong when I try...
net use lpt1 "\\bobbiesxp\hp deskjet 400"
but it only tells me that it is rejected. I don't know
what else to type.

Okay, you've gotten me an a much improved track. But it
still won't print. I can monitor the printer from
workstations so I know the sharing is okay and "NET USE"
shows it as "OK". And my DOS program functions as it
should. But the printer shows that it is receiving data
(spooling actually) but then the report does not print,
the status just says "error printing" and there is no
error number to investigate. I've tried it from 2
different stations including the one to which the printer
is attached, via USB, without success. Do you have any
more ideas? Windows prints fine and the printer is set
to default.

Wesley Sir,
All it says is "! Warning". then under source, it says "print" and under
category "None" and event is 8. I don't imagine this will help you see what
is wrong. But thank you for responding.
