I have been able to print to a network printer from our DOS program by
using the DOS command
NET USE LPT1: \\computer-name\printer-name /persistent:yes
Now I am running into the problem of printing to a network printer
that has an ethernet port on the printer. In <Printers> <Properties>
<Ports> all I have is "ip_10.2.150.10". There is no computer involved.
I've tried:
NET USE LPT1: \\10.2.150.10 /persistent:yes
and
NET USE LPT1: \10.2.150.10 /persistent:yes
and both result in a "System Error 66"
I assume I need something like:
NET USE LPT1: \\10.2.150.10\printer-name /persistent:yes
I am having trouble identifying the actual printer name. Any ideas how
to do this. "NET VIEW \\10.2.150.10" doesn't work. The name on the
"Printers and Faxes" screen has a lot of spaces, so I think that won't
work. Do I need to do:
NET USE LPT1: "\\10.2.150.10\Canon IR2200-300 PCL5" /persistent:yes
Is there an easy way to identify the computer-name and printer-name
inside of WinXP?
Thanks,
