I used to print PRN file with copy /B *.prn > LPT1
How can I print theses PRN file to an USB printer ???
Share the printer, create a NET USE to the printer, then print to the
virtual port.
In other words:
Right-click the printer in the Printers folder and pick Sharing. Give it a
simple name.
Create the virtual LPT port:
NET USE LPT1: \\yourcomputer\printershare (you can use LPT2: or higher if
needed)
Print to it as normal.
I've done the above with Win2K and an HP PSC2410. I assume NT/XP would be
the same. You will need to have the Server service running, of course (NET
START SERVER)
For 9x/ME, you will need to enable File and Printer sharing. I'm not
certain if it will let you connect to your own shares, though.
