Someone please help...

I cannot print to a network printer from remote desktop. I have seen
threads posted referring to the net use command such as 'net use lpt1
\\servername\printer', but how does that work when there isn't a
server name, it is just an IP address? Also when I try to type in "net
use lpt3 192.168.x.x" I get an error message "Error number 67..."
Anyone have any ideas?
 
The printer would still have a share name. Try something like "net use lpt3 192.168.x.x\[shared printer]". Just replace [shared printer] with the correct share name
