I used to do this at a previous employer who still used Sage in DOS for his accounts and order processing. As far as I can tell the only thig you are missing is the /persistent:yes off the end but that would only make a diference after a reboot and would not cause your error.
The relevent Microsoft information can be found here... http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314499 What we used to do was to have each machine share it's own printer and then attach to that as the printer (or more importantly the jet direct) probably doesn't support this so what you could try is... 1) Install the printer in your OS, then share it. 2) run "net use lpt1 \\localIP\sharename /persistent:yes You could use a single machine as the "print server" instead of sharing it on every machine, but if the single server goes offline no one can print which negates the usefullness of a network printer. -- Jay > I need to setup my computer to redirect the printing to LPT1 > to a TPC/IP port ip_10.37.2.18.
