Identify the Printer
This section describes an example of setting the printer
for a network which uses LAN Manager. For more
information see the on-line help manual that came with
your LAN Manager system. The directions in this
section assume that you are in the
NECPR
directory that
you created in the previous section.
1.
Use the
ADDPORT
command to create a printer port
for each Silentwriter.
ADDPORT <port name>
For example,
ADDPORT LMPORT05
If the command executes successfully, you will see
this message.
Data successfully added
Application : PM_SPOLLER_PORT
Key
: \PIPE\<port name>
Date : ;
2. Create a text file named
NECPR.INI
in the
c:\NECPR
directory. Each line in the text file has the
format
NECPR<MAC address> <port name>
For example,
NECPRA092901705 LMPORT05
3. Use the
REMPRT3
command to start remote print
service.
REMPRT3 @NECPR.INI
If the command executes successfully, you will see
this message.
ITC REMOTE PRINT service starting
(C) Copyright ITC H. Bollman
Manufacturers 1993. Ver 3.9
ITC REMOTE PRINT service for
<port name> started successfully.
4. If you want to share the Silentwriter across the
network, use the
NET SHARE
command. After you
enter the
NET SHARE
command, a prompt appears
to ask if you want to create a queue. Type “y” at the
prompt to confirm that you want to create a queue.
NET SHARE
<share name>=\PIPE\<port name> /PRINT
For example,
NET SHARE LMPRNT05=\PIPE\LMPORT05
/PRINT
5. To use the network printer, enter the
NET USE
command.
NET USE <device>
\\<server name>\<share name>
For example,
NET USE LPT1 \\LMSERVER\LMPRNT05
You can also use the
NET USE
command without any
parameters to display network resources. For example,
NET USE
Print a Document
To print a document use the PRINT command.
PRINT /D:<device> <filename>
For example,
PRINT /D:LPT1 CONFIG.SYS
or
PRINT CONFIG.SYS
The default device is
LPT1
.
