Identify the Printer
This section describes an example of setting the printer
for a network which uses LAN Manager. For more
information see the on-line help manual that came with
your LAN Manager system. The directions in this
section assume that you are in the
NECPR directory that
you created in the previous section.
1.
Use the ADDPORT command to create a printer port
for each Silentwriter.
ADDPORT
For example,
ADDPORT LMPORT05
If the command executes successfully, you will see
this message.
Data successfully added
Application : PM_SPOLLER_PORT
Key
: \PIPE\
Date : ;
2. Create a text file named NECPR.INI in the
c:\NECPR directory. Each line in the text file has the
format
NECPR
For example,
NECPRA092901705 LMPORT05
3. Use the REMPRT3 command to start remote print
service.
REMPRT3 @NECPR.INI
If the command executes successfully, you will see
this message.

prompt to confirm that you want to create a queue.

You can also use the NET USE command without any
parameters to display network resources. For example,
NET USE
