Printing an application that runs in DOS

[Guest]

I'm try to print from a DOS application that is configured to print to LTP1. My local printer is connected to a USB port, plus I have access to a network printer. Any ideas as to how to reassign LTP1 so it can print to one of my printers?

Thanks in advanve for your help!

Rednosebob,

C:\net use lpt1:\mycomputer\LexmarkX /persistent:yes
System error 67 has occured.

if you are sure the printer name is correct, then maybe the PC name isn't.

Correct syntax: NET USE LPT1: \\Computer\Printer
(Please note that there are TWO backslashes before "Computer")

To find your Pc name try to run: ECHO %USERDOMAIN%

If you want to give a look at a powerful utility to make the redirection and
to add some interesting features like print preview, font selection, color,
graphical background merging and so on, then try Printfil.

Kind regards,
