Rapturous, demented gibbering and giggling fills the air...
Success! Okay, let's doc this puppy.
First, I took the trouble to go to
Start / Settings / Printers_and_Faxes / Deskjet500 on US / Printer / Properties / SharingAnd clicked on "Share this Printer" and gave my printer a share name.
Then, at a command prompt (mmm... command prompt, good!), the following did ensue:
>net view \\GatewayM275 Shared resources at \\GatewayM275 Dv's Gateway M275 Share name Type Used as Comment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DJUSB002 Print DeskJet 500 on USB Printer Print Journal Note Writer SharedDocs Disk The command completed successfully. >net use LPT1: \\GatewayM275\DJUSB002 The command completed successfully. >net view \\GatewayM275 Shared resources at \\GatewayM275 Dv's Gateway M275 Share name Type Used as Comment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DJUSB002 Print LPT1 DeskJet 500 on USB Printer Print Journal Note Writer SharedDocs Disk The command completed successfully. >echo Hello > LPT1:And the most beautiful sound did issue forth from my printer. Likewise for:
>print test.txt
Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread. My wife just called me to come home for dinner. I've blown much of the afternoon on this, but I'm outta here!
