Anyone have the solution for this... I can´t print on a network printer by using windows XP.

Thanks anyone,
 
You have to describe your problem a little bit exactlyer!
But I suppose, You have to use following command at DOS-prompt:

net use lpt1 \\Yourserver\yourprinter

If You add "persistent:yes" the connection will stay along until You disconnect it again with

net use lpt1 delete

Sure, it could be lpt2 and lpt3 too.

greetings


 
sorry I've forgotten the slashes:

net use lpt1 \\yourserver\yourprinter /persistant:yes

and

net use lpt1 /delete
 
Thank you musicon, you give me the solution.

Thanks

Rob
