I have a NT 4.0 Server that was connected to an windows 98
workstation. I recently replaced the workstation with a
new one that is running XP Home. The protocol had to be
changed to TCP/IP from Netbios in order for the two
computers to "see each other".
My problem now is that I cannot print. The server printers
require me to "capture printer port". For example, I could
assign LPT2 to \\server\chequeprinter (this was necessary
as the program I used on the server is DOS based). This
was easily done in Windows 98 but I cannot find anywhere
in XP where I can do this. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT TO DO!!
