Solve : DOS 6.22 etc?

Answer»

Please, the code to enabling LPT1 printing device. AUTOEXEC.BAT?

I use DOS 6.22 and XP for running ny VBDOS(1P)-written programmes.
Of the latter, "Direct Access 5" is necessary.
Then to change the HUE of the screen, I use "PRISM".

Thansk for your help.Quote from: KRAUSS on January 12, 2010, 10:45:52 AM

( All the following information from the above link. I have not used or tested the information.) Good luck

"In order to print from DOS in an offline environment, you will need to do a couple of things."



1) Install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter

a) In Control Panel, double click on Add Hardware.

b) Click Next

c) When the scan finishes, select "Yes, I have already connected the hardware"

d) Click Next

e) Scroll to the bottom of the list and select "Add a NEW hardware device"
Click Next

f) Select "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)"

g) Click Next

h) Select "Network Adapters"

i) Click Next

j) Select "Microsoft" under the Manufacturer list.

k) Select "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" in the Network Adapter list.

l) Click Next

m) Click Next

n) Click Finish



2) Configure the Adapter

a) The loopback adapter is a virtual network adapter and can be configured the same as a regular network card.

b) Set the adapter to have a static IP address such as 192.168.1.1/ 255.255.255.0



3) Share the printer.

a) I recommend you use a share name that you will remember. I used “Printer” in the new machines that are already deployed.



4) Capture the printer port.

a) NET USE LPT1: \\[Computer Name]\Printer /PERSISTENT:YES

Now, not that I like to encourage this type of behaviour, but if you have done the above and still can't get it to print, you may find some help through one of the articles located here:
