- When you have a printer defined in PC-NFS as the same port as a local printer
- uses (e.g. LPT1:), PC-NFS will intercept everything before it reaches your
- local port and send it to the remote printer. The only way around this is to
- not use the PC-NFS LPT port that your local printer is on.
-
- You can also switch back and forth, disabling the net printer by using
- NET USE LPT1: /D
- and re-enabling it by using
- NET USE LPT1: \\<machine>\<printer>
- However, this seems to confuse PC-NFS after doing this a few times. *sigh*
