Mapping LPT1 to Network Prtinter

K

Karl G. Kuhn

How do I map the LPT1 port in a dos-based program using
the printerport LPT1 in the application to a network
printer? In W98 the printer setup had this capability.
Thanks.

Use the 'net use' DOS command to map LPT1 to the printer share. run 'net
use /?' to get more details about 'net use'. It should look something like
'net use LPT1 \\myprintserver\myprinter'
