Can't print from Dos program within Vista? Wizard <stop.spam[ at ]net.ai> 5/25/2007 3:08:24 PM I have an RBase application I've been using for years and I have it now running in Vista Business but I can not get it to print no matter what I do. I have an HP960c Inkjet printer connect by USB. I have no LPT ports. I have tried "net use LPT1 \\wizard\HP960c /persistent:yes" where wizard is the machine name and HP960c is the printer name. I have even shared the printer but nothing works. This BTW works fine in XP (I have to dual Boot because of this issue). Any Help?

RE: Can't print from Dos program within Vista? PaulB 6/25/2007 1:58:01 AM Hi, When you open the cmd prompt make sure you do it with run as administrator. I use Rbase and this works for me in VISTA. -- Paul "Wizard" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I have an RBase application I've been using for years and I have it now > running in Vista Business but I can not get it to print no matter what I > do.

RE: Can't print from Dos program within Vista? PaulB 6/25/2007 3:12:05 AM What I meant in my previous post was to elevate (Run as administrator) when you use the Net use command. -- Paul "Wizard" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I have an RBase application I've been using for years and I have it now > running in Vista Business but I can not get it to print no matter what I > do.

Re: Can't print from Dos program within Vista? PaulB 6/25/2007 4:46:03 PM Hi, Sorry, in this case right click on Command Prompt in the programs list (start menu/all programs/ accessories) and you will see "Run as administrator" as a choice. For other programs, right click on the .exe file and you will see the same entry. I hope this explains it. -- Paul "Peter B.

Re: Can't print from Dos program within Vista? PaulB 6/25/2007 8:25:14 PM Yes you can by going into the properties for the file or shortcut and select the compatiblity tab and check run as adminstrator there. -- Paul "Peter B.

Re: Can't print from Dos program within Vista? roocell[ at ]gmail.com 7/11/2007 12:37:14 AM i too have had difficulty doing LPT emulation on vista. i have 2 dell PCs which are EXACTLY the same i used the 'net use lpt1 \\computer_name\printer_share' command to map LPT1 to my shared USB printer. so that i can do 'copy file lpt1' in the DOS prompt to send files directly to the printer. this method worked great on one computer but the other computer keep giving me the 'system error 66 had occurred. the network resource type is not correct' any ideas? \\mike
