Hi All..
I have a network printer on a network that is connected via a network print
station..

The client is using windows XP pro as his operating system....
but has a dos application that only prints to a lpt port.....
any idea's

regards


Ian

Run the add printer wizard.

install as local printer to LPT2,

pick the printer drivers for the network printer,

do not print test page

finish,

Make a bat file containing


NET USE LPT2 \\Printerservername\printerquename\

run bat file

put a shortcut to the bat file in the startup folder for future logons

point DOS program at LPT2
