Hi all,

How do I print from MS-DOS application in Windows XP Pro to a network printer in Netware 3.12? If I made a print from Windows application its works great only I am not able to print from DOS application

Thanks for your help

You will need to do this from a Dos prompt.
type "net use lpt1 \\servername\printername /persistant:yes" (without the quotes)You can do this for lpt2, 3, 4, so on and so forth. If you leave the /persistant statement off the next time the computer reboots it will no longer have the lpt captured.

You can also capture the LPT1 port from the NW client. This is where you should be setting your persistant capturing to occur.
