I was trying to follow the instructions on the net command to redirect an
attached printer [HP6F] on lpt1 to a networ share printer. Somehow I ended up
with a totla inability to print anywhere from any dos program including
'print' at the command line. If I run 'print' a job appears in the spooler
but nothing gets printed.
I grabbed a copy of Portmon [sysinternals] and notice two things
1. I have 2 lpt ports available to me lpt1 and lpt1.4. I don't remember
lpt1.4
2. I can't moniitor lpt1 as "Portmon cannot attach to parallel0 - the device
may be in use. This happens even if portmon is the first thing I run
Obviously [maybe not] I have managed to redirect the lpt1 to something but
net use \\xxx\yyy /delete has no effect.
How do I find out where the print output is going and fix lpt1.
I have just now successfully used net use to redirect lpt2 [not a physical
port] to a network share printer. My only problem now is the ricoh driver
and password problems but that's another Q for later.
Can I redirect a parallel port to a Standard TCPIP port ie ip_192.168.7.104?
Hope all that makes sense.
