SUMMARY
=======
The LAN Manager utility PRINTSTA.EXE, that ships with the Microsoft Client
Pack, will allow a LAN Manager workstation to share a local parallel
printer. Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x Compatible Workstations can connect to a
PRINSTA.EXE print server with the NET USE command.
MORE INFORMATION
=================
To connect to a workstation running PRINTSTA.EXE from a Microsoft LAN
Manager 2.x Compatible Workstation, use the following syntax:
NET USE <Redirected Port:> \\<Workstation Name>\<Share Name>
For example:
NET USE LPT1: \\PSERVER\LPT
If a Windows NT workstation needs to access a PRINTSTA.EXE print server,
use the following steps:
1. Connect to the PRINTSTA.EXE print share from a Windows NT command
prompt.
2. Create a printer in Windows NT Print Manager that uses the redirected
port.
The command line options for setting up a PRINTSTA.EXE print server are:
