I have a technical Windows 2000 dilemma

[ripleysmom]

I figured I would post this here too since there seem to be a decent amount of tech types here at the DIS.

I have an IBM laptop running Windows 2000 Pro and an HP psc950 printer and am having a problem printing. I have a couple of programs that need to use LPT1 (pr LPTx) as the printing port and the HP is a USB printer with no available parallel connection.

Is there any way anyone knows of to use the "Net Use" command to redirect my local LPT port to the USB port?

I have tried printing to a file but some of the reports wrap so that is not working too well as a solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Kimberly, I wish I knew your answer...sorry

Have you tried posting this on the tech board? you might find some quick help over there...

WOW at first glance I thought this would be easy. It's not! I found a program that will do it for you though.
DOS Print
