Accpac Plus and Win XP - Printing Problem

[JohnFC]

I have upgraded to a WinXP workstation and have hit a problem.
(We are running on a NetWare network) On Win98 when you installed a printer there was an option to say one needed the printer for DOS and you could allocate a port – eg I allocated LPT4.

Now on Win XP, I cannot find where to do that.
I have tried starting Accpac as follows but still no joy:
net use lpt4: \\PS521775\P1 /persistent:yes
G:\PLUS.EXE /WC:\Temp

When in Accpac I cannot print to LPT4, but if I Ctrl-D and go to DOS, I can issue the DOS command “dir>LPT4” and it works!

Any ideas? Really stumped….

Thanks
John

Are you sure that Accpac can write to LPT4..our version here can only go up to LPT3..a real pain!!!

Thanks for response.
Yes, I am sure.
Under Win 98 and Win ME, I have had printing going to LPT4 and LPT5. WinXP seems to be the problem.
Thanks
