Net use command

Neil Davis_2 — Wed, 28 Apr 2004 04:55:06 GMT

After using the following net use command:

net use lpt1 \\print_server\itprinter /persistent:yes

to allow a 16 bit app to print to a networked printer via LPT1 I am not to sure on teh best way to reset this afterwards? is there a particular command? I am not to familiar with net use!

Any help appreciated!

Neil

On running that will it revert back to it's original setting? i.e will the local printer then work as normal or will I have to install the printer again?

Hi Neil,
NET USE open or close only sharing; nothing is made on printer installation, etc.
However, printer has installed by windows (32 bit environment) while NET SHARE use 16 bit environment to MsDos compatibility.

Have a great day.
