Windows Forum / Windows XP / Remote Desktop / April 2008Have a dos program that I want to print remotely
Would like to start off by saying I know just enough to get myself into trouble. I have set up remote desktop on my office computer and on my laptop. Both machines are running xp pro. The remote desktop connection works fine, and I can print any window programs at the remote location(laptop). I cannot print from a dos program(the main reason for weeks of trial & error), I am assuming because it is printing to the lpt1 port at the office machine. How would I go about redirecting this print command to the laptop @ my house. The printer is connected directlty to the lpt1 port of the laptop at my home.The printer is a panasonic kx-p2624. Any help would be greatly appreciated! in your RDP session do: Start -> Run -> cmd.exe -> "net use LPT1: \\tsclient\PrinterName" > Would like to start off by saying I know just enough to get myself into > trouble.

Thanks for the reply, I tried the command but I received the following error message: system error 66 has occured the network resource type is not correct. I am entering the following way: net_use_lpt1:_\\ts(name of my laptop)\printer share name I also tried inserting the name of the office computer instead of the laptop name which gave me the same error. one other thing I noticed is that in checking for the proper sharename for the printer there are two panasonic printers, of which one says my laptops name in parenthesis next to it on the office computer. I tried both printer names both gave same error message. Any additional help would again be greatly appreciated, like I said I know just enough to get myself into trouble. Thanks again for the reply > in your RDP session do: > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > printer is a panasonic kx-p2624. > > Any help would be greatly appreciated! When I wrote "\\tsclient", that's exactly what I meant, as this is the UNC path to the client device for the current session. If you have the client printer shared as HPLJ, you'd do : NET USE LPT1: \\tsclient\HPLJ /persistent /yes To verify that it's available, browse My Network Places (or Network Neighborhood) -> Entire Network -> Client Network -> \\tsclient (or \\client if using Citrix). > Thanks for the reply, I tried the command but I received the following error > message: system error 66 has occured the network resource type is not [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > > printer is a panasonic kx-p2624. > > > Any help would be greatly appreciated! When I tried that command came back with "you used an option with an invalid value". Just want to verify that I am doing this command line using the office computer start button when I am logged on using the RDP, not the start button on my laptop. When I searched (my network neighborhood on the office machine) there is no option for entire network client network. Am I missing something. Also I tried a ":" instead of a "/" in front of the yes that came back with system error 87 > When I wrote "\\tsclient", that's exactly what I meant, as this is the UNC > path to the client device for the current session.

I want/need to do the same thing. Did you ever get this to work? url:http://www.ureader.com/msg/129477.aspx I have the same Remote Desktop print problem with a dos program. If you got a solution I would like to know it. Phil url:http://www.ureader.com/msg/129477.aspx Phil, > I have the same Remote Desktopprintproblem with adosprogram. If you got > a solution I would like to know it. you may want to have a look at this article: http://www.printfil.com/article/dos-print-windows-terminal-server.htm Regards, Davide I had a similar issue with printing locally to a local USB printer from DOS. What I did was tricked the system into thinking the local shared printer was a remote printer. For USB printers like the new deskjets I would share out the printer as Deskjet and my command to print to it through my DOS apps as though I was on LPT1 was: Net use LPT1: \\127.0.0.1\Deskjet One of the issues I had with mapping LPT1 on XP was that there could not be a hardware LPT1. I either had to disable the printer port or adjust the settings so it was LPT 2 or 3. Now I guess on the Terminal server you could do something similar and share out the printer "BlahBlah on HOMECOMPUTER session X" but I think one of the issues will be that you might have to do it manually each time because Session X will change depending on when you log in.
