You could also use another net use statement assigned the second printer to lpt2. &nbsp;For example:<br />
<br />
net use lpt2: \\server\front<br />
<br />
You could have more than two and for each net use statement, when you install the specific Print Device all print jobs selected for the particular printer will redirect to the respective lpt port.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have assigned lpt1 on one of the machines on my network to print to a shared printer with the following statement:<br />
net use lpt1: \\server\backprinter<br />
Now this user wants to print on the offices front printer, trying to assign the port to the front printer fails as the port has already been assigned.<br />
How do I set the lpt to be configured to nothing so I can reassign it?

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
