DOS printing over network

[John Parkinson]

I have a HP5100TN (with a TCP/IP address) in our office
(15 computers on network). I added two more computers last
week and everything works fine except when they try to
print reports from dBase IV programs. I know that DOS has
to print to LPT1 or LPT 2. Can I use the NET.EXE with the
TCP/IP address in place of the 'printserver'
or 'sharenamedriver' name?

Example: net use lpt1: \\192.168.1.110

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Tim,

I haven't had time to try this again, looks like a good
way to start a Monday.

I appreciate the reply.
