Hi,

I had a little batch program that allowed me to print a .prn on my old
desktop to a printer attached to its parallel port. It went something like:

copy filename.prn lpt1
exit

OK - so I'm not quite up to challenging Bill Gates yet lol.

Is there a simple way to modify this to print a .prn file to my new Canon
i865 printer on a USB port on my new laptop? The printer seems to be
attached to USB001 port.

TIA,

RAH.

Find the option to "Capture port" and select LPT1, which will basically
redirect LPT1 to USB001.

No.

Thanks Jim,
I forgot to mention that I'm running XP SP2 and that my laptop has no
parallel port. There seems no way to 'capture port' as you suggested. After
googling I tried 'net use lpt1:\\servername\printername' in DOS but keep
getting system error 67.
Any other ideas?

Thanks
RAH
