[ale] [EXTRA-SUPER OT] DOS and Network Printers

[Hogg, Russell E]

Thanks, I did find several articles describing basically that.  Though they
were for XP and 2000.  This is my dad who I'm trying to help over the phone.
He has some ancient application form the state that he has to run for some
civil work he's doing.

This list is always good for those kinds of questions.  Thanks for the quick
response.

Maybe something like - net use lpt1 \\sharename\printername
That's if the printer is physically attached to a PC, though. If it's
really on the network, them maybe looking at help for net use will give
some kind of hint.  All the printers I've dealt with this way were
attached to Windows PC's or Novell servers.
