Re: Net Use printer redirection in Vista

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

MassiveProng,

Net Use LPT1 \\machinename\HP9800

Is what I used where machine name is replaced by my machine name.

No help here guys?

I know I am not in the vista group, but since I do not yet have it,
can anyone help with this problem?

You need to run the NET USE command as Administrator.

on msnews.microsoft.com you can find microsoft.public.windows.vista.print_fax_scan

What I have is an old DOS legacy app that works great, but ONLY
prints to LPT ports, and my printer is USB.

You may want to have a look at Printfil to have your DOS jobs automatically redirected to your networked printer (or any other Windows printer), even on Vista.
More info and a free trial version is available for download at http://www.printfil.com
