HP 2430 - Cannot redirect DOT4_xxx port 1

[soy4soy]

Can anyone help me redirect a DOT4_001 or DOT4_002 port to any LPTx: port?

I am attempting to use Citrix client which is not using the default driver-port combo (PCL 6). I am used to simply redirecting the port to the LPT1: or LPT2: port and this trick is not working since I am unfamiliar with the syntax for these DOTx ports.

TIA

I assume you have the printer connected via USB, so have you tried mapping the printer to the LPT port like :

1) Share the printer in the driver.
2) Go to the command prompt and type "net use LPT1: \\computername\printershare"

Basically this is the default way of sharing a USB printer via any other port and you need not worry that much about the HP's enhanced Dot4_X port emulation.

Also look for the PCL driver version 60.051.506.32 for optimum compability with the Citrix client/server.

If you need an overview of what HP printers are supported with Citrix along with the driver versions recommended, post your e-mail and I will send it to you !

Thanks for the info. You are correct. However, I was the victim of the user not telling me correctly what was going on. ;-p

It was NOT a USB connection as she said... it was a PARALLEL connection... simple... Anyway, thanks for the help.

The PCL driver version is what got me looking in the right direction.

Thanks again!
