*I have windows xp installed on all my pc's and on several
of them all of a sudden I can't print to a networked
printer from a dos based program. I can print to screen
but not to the network printer. The way I check to see if
the connection is ok, I goto the Dos prompt and type:
net use lpt1 \\server\printer
when I type: net I get an error:
"net is not recognized as an internal or external command
or program or batch"
Any ideas. I tried replacing the net.exe and net.hlp
files but that did not fix the problem.
thanks for any ideas.
