Accpac 6 (something,DOS Version)

[gibgo22]

Good day, I would like to install a printer in Accpac 6.2 (or something) but hvae never used the program before. I know that it has to be setup in windows, choose lpt port. Then press F3 in the program, select the printer, in this case it would be a generic because it doesn't have the Seiko Precision BP9000 drivers. Than onto the settings for CPI, LPI, etc. I am stuck at the point after the drivers are installed. The settings not sure how to set it up.

There are 12 terminals/users/ with a another workstation serving as the print server. The printer will not be connected to the server directly, there is another printer on the system already, exactly the same printer.

Does each termainal have to be setup in the same way as the print server? The paper being used on the print will be slighlty smaller than A4.

Thanks

Use the NET USE LPTx command to map the printer, and select a driver like HP4.

This has nothing to do with accounting packages, it's basic knowledge about Windows and DOS. Research the NET USE command.

Get to a command prompt and type the following (inserting your printer names):

net use /persistent:yes lpt1: \\servername\printername

and press <Enter> and wait for it to say successful or not.

Of course, you might have to use lpt2: or even lpt3: depending on your setup.

If you don't use the /persistent:yes, you could easily end up having to do the net use command daily...

Good luck!
