capturing a printer port

by eminent87 . Updated 24 years, 5 months ago

Hi,

I’m trying to print a report from ADP payroll software to our network printer but in order to do that I need to capture the network printer to LPT1. The ADP software need to be print in DOS. I could do this fine if I set up the printer locally but I can’t figure how to capture it to LPT1 on a network printer. I’ve also tried using a login script (NET USE LPT: \\SERVER\PRINTER /PERSISTENT:YES)to capture the LPT1 port but that doesn’t seem to work either. By the way, I’m using Windows 2000and our print server is running NT 4.0. Can anyone give me any suggestions?
