- Subject: Using a local and network printer at the same time.
- Lines: 15
-
- This may not be possible, but what I am attempting to do is to have
- a local printer (dot matrix) set to LPT1 and a network printer (laser)
- set to print to LPT1:PRINTQ_0 over the LAN.
-
- Currently, users only have the choice of the dot matrix on LPT1. If
- I add my laser and then connect it to the network, both printers
- become connected to the print queue. A user has to know how
- to connect and disconnect from the network queue instead of just
- selecting a printer.
-
- Many thanks in advance for any assistance!
