Windows 2000 and printing from command prompt.

[Pam Holman]

My Windows 2000 machine won't allow me to print from the
command prompt.

You might want to mention the printer setup and what you have tried so
far. (As well as which command promt CMD.EXE or COMMAND.COM)

 

[Ed Siff]

c:> net use lpt1: \\computername\printername

[Andy Yew]

c:> net use lpt1: \\computername\printername

I think you might actually have to print to that device to see it coming
out? You just mapped a printer share to a network port.

print /?

C:\Execs>type prnt.bat
@echo off
cls
net use lpt1: \\aalprnt\syslp
type %1 >lpt1:
net use lpt1: /delete

been using it for years!

c:> net use lpt1: \\computername\printername
