Printing intel 31 pr motherboard no paralell port.added pci port ,no print from dos. "net use lpt3: \\abc\tvsmsp250" after that anyhow printed well, changed user name(abc to user) , ip address added .now not printing,tried with "net use lpt3: \\user\tvsmsp250" no result .. (ones loging off printing ...now not

It can't.
DOS printing need LPTx parallel port because DOS don't understand/support USB.

YOU can share the printer with windows printer driver, then
go to CMD prompt
Type
Net use lpt1 \\<computername>\<printersharename>
Then print DOS job to LPT1

DOS applications cannot print on USB ports, but there's a workaround by using a share and the NET USE command, first create a share of that printer check this site: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/windowsnetworking/ht/printer-sharing.htm, (take note of the name you gave the shared printer) than you use NET USE command to connect the shared printer to a virtual port (LPT2) first click on START, than RUN, than type CMD than hit enter, type the following command " net use lpt2: \\127.0.0.1\(shared printer name) /yes " than hit enter, if you have a " command completed successfully " than you have your shared printer connected to a virtual port (LPT2) now it is just a matter of setting your DOS software to print to LPT2... and VOILA! it prints...

Good luck!

Hello,
check printer port from printer "Properties" menu.
Good luck!

If you are talking about one of the TallyCom print servers there is a small blue test button on the side of the box, press this when the print server is connected to a printer that is online. If you press the test button for over 9 seconds the print server will be reset to factory settings. If you want to print from DOS to a network printer as I recall you have two options; 1) Install the printer in Windows and share it, you can then print to the share name 2) Use "NET USE" command in DOS to map a local port to a network port, this is nessesaey if you can not print to LPT1 or COM1 from the application. For help of NET USE go to DOS and use the help options.

Solution 1

Purchase an LPT printer port (PCI Slot), get it fixed on your motherboard. And follow the steps :

- install the PCI slot driver
- Goto Device manager, select properties for PCI Slot. there you need to change printer port from LPT3 to LPT1
- Goto to printer driver properties and there also you need to change printer slot from LPT3 to LPT1

Solution 2

1) Install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter
a) In Control Panel, double click on Add Hardware.
b) Click Next
c) When the scan finishes, select "Yes, I have already connected the hardware"
d) Click Next
e) Scroll to the bottom of the list and select "Add a new hardware device"
Click Next
f) Select "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)"
g) Click Next
h) Select "Network Adapters"
i) Click Next
j) Select "Microsoft" under the Manufacturer list.
k) Select "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" in the Network Adapter list.
l) Click Next
m) Click Next
n) Click Finish

2) Configure the Adapter
a) The loopback adapter is a virtual network adapter and can be configured the same as a regular network card.
b) Set the adapter to have a static IP address such as 192.168.1.1/ 255.255.255.0

3) Share the printer.
a) I recommend you use a share name that you will remember. I used “Printer” in the new machines that are already deployed.

4) Capture the printer port.
a) NET USE LPT1: \\[Computer Name]\Printer /PERSISTENT:YES

Enter Bios by pressing F2 during boot up Advanced options,Make sure EPP is chosen for that port and it is enabled epp stands for enhanced paralell printing..

I HAVE DG31PR M/B AND ADD PIC CARD IN PRINTER PORT\r\nADD PRINTER AND PRINT IN ONLY WINDOWS BASED.
=========
other M/b Onboard
I HAVE DOS BASED PRINT Eg. c:\dir >prn to print to directories names.

but could not print out. because printer port is LPT3 is named.
anyway i am try to lpt3 to lpt the following steps
divice manager
ports
com & lpt
lpt3- properties
port setting
port lpt3 to lpt1
apply
then print is successfully
the above setup followed in DG31PR m/b.
lpt3- properties
port setting (tab) not viewed
Why?

Try changing the LPT port mode in the BIOS- there should be like SPP, EPP, ECP. As I recall there are different drivers for USB and Parallel and I don't think Serial is supported. If you installed HP drivers, Uninstall and use the Windows drivers.

Google for DOS PRINT USB, and you'll find some utilities that do this.

Or, you can include some commands in your batch file.

First, get the device name:

In a DOS window, type NET VIEW ComputerName (or use 127.0.0.1)

Once you know the printer share name, you use it in a batch file.

NET USE lpt1: \\ComputerName\ShareName /Persistent:Y

This captures the print queue to the shared printer.

You must also go into Printer Properties/Advanced/Print Processor and set it to TEXT

Your copy, print and other commands will work.

To answer the question, I need to k**w if your DOS session is running inside Windows. As this is the most likely scenario, I'll answer assuming that - the answer will be different for DOS only systems.

Has the faulty LPT1 port has actually been removed? If it has, why **t just alter the port number of LPT3 back to LPT1 ? This can be done with jumpers on an old style card, or from device manager inside Windows if plug and play. If **t, you can try the following:

1: If the printer is already installed in Windows on LPT3, skip to step 3:
2: Install the printer in Windows. If you don't have a suitable driver for it, you can use Generic/Text only driver.
3: Right click on the printer, go to sharing, and make the printer shareable. Use a share name of 11 or less characters and ** spaces - e.g. EPSONLX500
4: From the CMD prompt, type the command:

net use lpt1: \\%computername%\Sharename

e.g.

net use lpt1: \\%computername%\EPSONLX500

**te that you do **t need to replace %computername% with your exact computer name - the machine will do it for you.

Finally, for others reading this, you can also use this technique to print from DOS to most "intelligent" USB printers (Hi end Laser, Dot Matrix etc). It probably won't work with "dumb" GDI printers or All-in-ones where Windows has to do all the work. If the printer supports PCL or ESCP printing languages, you are probably going to be OK.
