2 Printers – 1 network 1 local

by curtis864 . Updated 25 years, 4 months ago

I am working on a problem in my school’s guidance department. To start out, they logged on to an NT domain and used a laserjet printer over the network. It is captured as LPT1. The guidance counselor wants to keep the old printer for printing student schedules and reports, and the new inkjet for printing all other documents. I need to know how to configure this. When i tried ending capture and recapturing as LPT2, then installing the inkjet on LPT1, all jobs sent to the inkjet were sent to the laser. I did not try to restart. My ideas so far are:

1. Try restarting with the captured network laserjet as LPT2 and the local inkjet as LPT1.

2. Leaving the laser captured as LPT1 and go into BIOS and set the local port as LPT2

I do not know much about the network setup since it is seperate from the student network. The counselor’s computer is running either Windows 95 or 98. Thanks in advance for the help.
