Windows 98 and net use
Hi to everyone!
I'm currently having a problem with a program running under DOS that I use to store all the transactions made by the customers of my insurance agency. This software was developed in Clipper so there's no way to make it print to a USB printer. I had thought about sharing my USB printer and then launch this istruction: "net use lpt1: \\host_name\printer_name /persistent:yes, but the last option "persistent:yes" is unknown to the implementation of net use in Windows 98. If I launch the command "net use lpt1: \\host_name\printer_name\ /yes", the shell responds saying this command can be launched only from a server or something similar. Well, is there a workaround to solve this kind of issue? Thanks in advance, Burroughs. |
