Thanks, Ralf:
If you have mapped LPT2 to the network printer then you *must* print
to LPT2. Sending to PRN or LPT1 won't do anything because there's no
device there.
I will henceforth direct printing to PRN.
On the FreeDOS PC, in C:\MSNET>, I have edited LOGON.BAT. That now
says the following.
"net use PRN: \\%SERVER%\%PRINTQUEUE% %PASSWORD%"
The easy way to print to any port is just to copy or echo a file to
that port.
I have entered this:
* "copy readme.txt prn".
3.4 lines print.
That doesn't make any sense. There must be something else in play for
that to work. PRN: is an alias to LPT1:
I wanted to simplify usage, hence the above.
There should be no printout what so ever of you would send data to
PRN: and have the network printer assigned to LPT2:
As above in the mean time I have assigned printing to PRN (no longer
to LPT2).
OK, but that means your setup you have is different than the one you
mentioned many times before. :(
