I have previously redirected LPT1 Port to a 'Network Printer' as well as 'Print Server' with NO PROBLEMS. However, I have NOT been able to redirect LPT1 Port to a LOCAL PRINTER. I have already set up:
- new HP Laser Printer (tested, no problem printing in Windows)
- the printer is SHARED, shared name HPLaser (tested by viewing Shared Printer Name and Computer Name in DOS)
- bat file as --> Net use Lpt1 \\DkTop1\HPLaser /persistent:yes (I checked to ensure the Computer Name and the Shared Printer Name are correct. Tested by running bat command, no error message)
When printing in DOS and viewing "What's Printing" from Printer Icon, the DOS print job appears immediately as "spooling", then "printing" and "USB001" Port. So, it appears to be printing, noting NO ERRORS from DOS Program or Windows but it does NOT PRINT. The only difference between how I have the Local Printer setup and the Print Server Printer Setup is the PRINT SERVER goes to an "IP Address w/Standard TCP/IP Port" and the LOCAL PRINTER goes to "USB001 Virtual Printer for . . .". IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH SETTING UP THE LOCAL PRINTER with USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER??? If so, how do I resolve, if not, please note what is the problem(s) and resolution(s).
