Hesham/Moro145,

Do you expect better answers by asking the same questions twice?

Printing from DOS to a network printer is easy with the Windows "Net use" command. Before printing (via a batch file or something) issue a "net use" command like:

Code: Select all

Net Use lpt1: \\servername\printername

I've noticed on my network, it works best to delete it first, even if it doesn't already exist. I use:

Code: Select all

Net Use lpt1: /delete

You can check to see if the printer (device mapping) exists with:

Code: Select all

Net Use

with no parameters.
