If i got it corectly, you want to capture a remote printer port into a local. If i got it wrong correct me.<br />
The command that you can use in order to capture as a local a remote printer port, is the following :<br />
net use lptX \\computername\printername<wbr /> /persistent<br />
Where X is the lpt port number like 1,2 etc<br />
<br />

Hi all, trust you are well.<br />
<br />
Potential client of mine was running Windows 98 with a printer plugged into the good old LTP port. They were running a DOS based program and printing to the printer using the old Windows 98 Capture printer port option in the printer settings.<br />
<br />
Now, they have new PC, running Windows XP and connect a USB printer. They still need to run the old DOS program - which seems to run fine in XP, but it refuses to print. Is there a way i can make it &quot;LPT1&quot; or capture it like in Win 98?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
Sean

LPT1 Capture Printer Port

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
