I am trying to print multiple txt files from DOS on win 2000. The program prnwild.exe that I am using need LPT1 captured, but win 2000 doesnt allow for this. Does any one have suggestions on a different DOS printing
program that doesnt need the port captured??
I have tried dosprint.exe but I cant get it to print multiple txt files because I used *.txt. The filenames will be different each time I print.
Thanks

I am assuming you are trying to print to a network printer. Windows 2000 does allow this but it is done at the Dos level. Use the net use command. Below is an example of the command.

net use lpt1 \\servername\sharedprinter /persistent:yes
If you don't use the /persistant:yes then the next time you reboot the capture will be gone.
