Cant map Dot Matrix to XP from Win7 64
We have been using dot matrix printer over our network of 6 machines for years using the following command.
NET USE LPT2:\\Brad\SERVICE/ PERSISTENT:YES
Just installed Win7 64 bit machine (1 Win 7 64 bit and 5 XP 32 bit machines on network) and everything runs except the connection to this printer from the win7 machine.
I checked for 64 bit drivers and Microsoft says that it is widows 7 64 bit compatable.
When I installed the printer on the Win7 machine it installed and if I do a test page it works but after redirecting to LPT2 the program that we run that needs the dot matrix machine ACTS like it is printing but the print job goes nowhere.
In past we would go to start button, RUN and type in that command. Even on reboot the command would remain.
I was reading somewhere on this forum to make a bat file and run as administrator so I have done this too but it still is not working.
Any suggestions?
