Confirmed...XP/Pro does not offer the "Allow DOS applications to print with this printer" option either.

As per NET USE /? on a WinXP machine I get:
Code:NET USE [devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]] [/USER:[domainname\]username] [/USER:[dotted domain name\]username] [/USER:[[email protected] domain name] [/SMARTCARD] [/SAVECRED] [[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]] NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]

Try the following:
NET USE LPT1: \\<server>\<printer>
(example: NET USE LPT1: \\IO\HP_8000DN_12B56)
Now try to print to LPT1:, I think you'll see an improvement.

I believe printing is not going to start until at least you close the file; and IIRC perhaps not until the process ends.

DOS not working in Windows XP
I have upgraded to Windows XP and all the print programs do not work.
I was using Windows 98 when it all worked...
My code has: open LPT1 for output as #2 and then I write to #2.
Is there a special coding that I need to use with Windows XP ????
I hope someone can give me an answer to this because I have a lot of these programs....
