Printing from DOS
Yes I still have a fairly large Program I wrote myself many years ago in
QuickBasic, which I use every week. Some three years ago I found Bruce Sanderson's web page with instructions on how to do it. The printer is connected to the computer with a USB cable. His solution works perfectly. I wrote a small batch program net use \\computername\printername /permanent:yes Problenm is now that the printer needs a new drum, which costs more than a new small laser printer, installed it. gave it a network name and tried to run the batch file with The new printer name. I got the error message "the device is already allocated to another Printer". I shut down. Ran the original batch file again with "remember:no", shut down and restarted and tried again: Ihis time "it said another printer name has already been remembered. How can I get rid of it ? I can't change the batch file to use "lpt2" since the program apparently won't print to "lpt2". I'm using WindowsXP with SP3. Can anyone help. I know I could perhaps cahange the names but I still want to keep the old printer connected until the drum gives up. It is still working fine. Stuart |
