Post subject: Printing mode
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>print_fax (more info?)

I have a legacy Foxpro-based app and am trying to set a user up for printing.
When trying to print reports, nothing happens. I did notice a window open
and stay with the command: mode lpt1:=com1. Doesn't this route the lpt1 port
to com1? How do I remove this and instead route the lpt1 port to a networked
printer? I tried the command "net use ltp1 \\server1\printer1" to no avail.
Any help/idea is much appreciated.
