I have a need to redirect lpt1 (or 2 or 3) on a Win XP PC to an IP address. All fo the references I have seen indicate that a) you have to be admin onthe PC (got that covered) and b) use the net use command (I.E. net use lpt1: \\123.45.67.89)
When I try that command, I get one of the highly useful Windows errors: System error 66 has occurred, The network resource type is not correct.
I also saw a reference to issuing the command 'net use lpt1:' to check the status of that port. That command returns an error as well: System error 67 has occurred, The network name cannot be found.
Any thoughts or suggestions? The software I am using only recognises LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, or COM1 as valid printer ports.
TIA |
