This is off the linux subject but I'll try
anyway. I looked at a friends computer net work win98 on top of
Novell. he has a dos program that is set to print to lpt1. the
computer that this program runs on has no local printer attached to it. In
windows their is a printer at \\hp5si\hp.
he says they have been able to print from the dos program to \\hp5si\hp in the past. I just can't see how
this can be done.
In the dos program setup for the printer their are
only the option to print to lpt1 lpt2 lpt3 and a file. Of course lpt1 can
not work as there is no printer their. I tried using the print to file and
typing in \\hp5si\hp but that did not
work. My view is that you can not take output from a dos program and send
it to a network printer. Am I wrong on this or is their some way to do
it? How could you tell dos where the printer is located?
Thanks
