Need to be able to do screen dumps to a network printer from Windows NT4. I know that it is possible to do it from Windows 95 through the capture printer port enabling say LPT1 to print to the network printer but is there a way in NT ???

The light version is a freeware item that is floating around the Web somewhere(Sorry, I don't remember where...) If you can't find it and don't want the Pro verision, I can email you the light/freeware version I have.

Good Luck!

If the network printer has an IP address, you can create a port to print directly to the printer. To do this, open the Printers folder and run the add printer wizard. Choose Local and Create New port. Select Standard TCP/IP Port next to type. Type in the IP address and name the port (I usually name it the same as the IP address). Select the type of printer from the list of available drivers. When you print, choose the name of the new printer you installed.

Think you may have missunderstood. I was wanting to do a screen dump ie prressing print screen. As this sends to the local printer port I couldnt print to the network printer. Thanks anyway but tim gets the points.
