Dos based program can't print under Win2000
Hi,
In first, sorry for my english but i'm french.
One of my customers run a former dos based program under NT4 . It works fine on a NT4 Machine and a HP Deskjet 6122 connected of course
on the LPT1 port.
We move the programs on a win2000 based computer and it works good except we can't print. We have alwas an ERROR ADDQUEUEENTRY.
I test every settings in the property of the printer. ( Raw/ emf ..spool ..) but nothing works. I test a echo "blablabla" > LPT1 in a DOS console and it works every time.
Do you know a solution en in order to be sure that a dos program can print under Win2000 ? By a fake LPT Capture or perhaps by a third party program ?
Thanks by adance.

You could try sharing your printer and then mapping it to LPT1:.

Remove and re-add the printer. Then make sure that the printer you are printing to is set as default.
