Hi, I have a problem with a Windows 2000 server with a
dialup connection to a remote computer (running dialup server) with a printer attached via a parallel port. I can dial in fine and print to the printer from the Win 2000 server if the printer is installed as a Lan Manager Printer but on the Windows 2000 server I cannot rename the printer (which I need to be able to do) . It shows up as \\abcd\epson2180. I have tried installing the printer locally and then changing the port from a local port to a TCP/IP port but this does not print. The IP address of the server is 192.168.0.1 and the IP address of the remote computer is set to "Obtain an IP auto" and if I run winipcfg I get an IP of the PPP adapter as 192.168.56.1 for the computer and 192.168.56.2 for the modem. The real issue is that the software uses the printer name from Windows and by selecting a TCP/IP port I can give the printer the name the software needs. Any suggestions? |
