RE: can't print

[Ravina, Paul]

Here's the NT syntax:     NET USE LPT1: \\servername\printername  /persistent:YES   replace  \\servername\printername   with what is appropriate for your site..... that might even be an IP address.   see my other email, forwarded below:   Paul -----Original Message----- From: Ravina, Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 4:37 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: can't print Hi Janet,   Rbase for DOS prints to LPT1.  It sounds like LPT1 is not connected to a printer port on your machine.   You didn't say what operating system your computer is using...  Are you on NT or Win 9x?  Or ME?  or 2000?   On NT you can use the NET USE command....   at a DOS prompt you could type  NET USE /?    and you'll see the syntax.   On Win 9x you can right click the printer icon and find a spot to capture the printer port. I forget the details (I'm on NT) - something like go into the control panel and right click on the printer you use, then look for the details page that has some button you can click to capture a printer port.   If you're on ME, someone else on this list can tell you what to do.   Best regards, Paul Ravina -----Original Message----- From: Janet Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 1:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: can't print Upgraded from 4.0 to 5.5DOS and when the command to print is given the program locks up. Can't even print to screen - program freezes. The rest of the program seems to work fine, just can't print anything. Have tried changing the memory settings, but it does not seem to make a difference.   Solutions? Suggestions?   tia   Janet
