I have a printer "Epson DFC 5000" and "Oki Microline 521" shared on windows xp computers.

On the network writing to these dot matrix printers is required. (Here a dos based program will use these shared printers)

How I can solve this problem?

Thank you...

As long as the printers are shared OK, then you just need to access the share via the Dos program.

From a command prompt, type

net use lpt1 \\name_of_PC\name_of_printer

This will map the printer to LTP1 and when you print to LPT1 from Dos, it goes to to the network path.
