The following procedure worked in getting the M270 (or 352 and 398) to print graphs and reports from Windows® NT to a network printer:
-
>Start>Settings>Printers
-
Right Click on the Network Printer
-
Click on Properties
-
Click on the Ports tab
-
Browse down to the checked (active) network printer, and write down the full name (//server/printer_sharename)">\\<server>\<printer_sharename>)
-
Go back to the Desktop
-
Go to >Start>Programs>Command Prompt (MS-DOS prompt)
-
Execute the following command using all caps: C:\>NET USE LPT1: \\<SERVER>\<PRINTER_SHARENAME>
-
If successful, you should type C:\>NET USE LPT1: again, and see that the local name = LPT1, and remote name = //server/printer_sharename\\server\<printer_sharename>
Essentially, this redirects the LPT1 port to the network printer when in the DOS shell environment.
