Hi,
I use the net command 'net use LPT1: \\computername\printer ' to send my old dos stuff to the printer.
This works fine under XP and win7.
I just tried it on a vista computer and it won't work. I get the write fault error message.
I thought maybe there is something wrong with the port. Device manager does not show an LPT1 port.
Mode LPT1 says 'Illegal device name'
Net use LPT1: \\computername\printer says 'command completed seccessfully'
I can not figure out if I have a port or not.
If this works in Win7 should it not work in Vista?
