map lpt printers

[Guest]

What is the exact syntax for mapping a tcp/ip port printer?

lpt3 is the port I want to map and 192.168.1.22 is the ip address of the
printer.

The printer is a Lanier LD235.

It sounds like you just need to add a printer which uses a Standard TCP/IP
Port.

net use is used to map to a print server. If the network card on the
printer supports netbios you will need to determine what the printer share
name is.

net use LPT3: \\printserver\printshare /PERSISTENT:YES

E:\>net use /?
The syntax of this command is:


NET USE
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
[/USER:[domainname\]username]
[/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
[/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
[/SMARTCARD]
[/SAVECRED]
[[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]

lpt3 is the port I want to map and 192.168.1.22 is the ip address of the
printer.

First, add a standard TCP/IP port to the printer driver and check that
it can actually print to the printer at the specified IP-address.

Then - also in the printer driver port setup - check "Enable printer
pooling", and then check LPT3 so that two ports are selected in the
port list.

As there are no physical printer connected to LPT3, Windows will now
grab the data and try sending it to the other port specified in the
port list.
