Using COM1 over local network

Hi !
I have a POS application.I'm using one thermal printer connected to COM1,I create a bat file wit this command :
copy mydata.txt COM1:
I run this bat and printer is working fine.
I've installed my application on a second computer in the network and I need to print from there to the same printer,but is located on another computer.
So how I use COM1 over local network?

Thanks for any help !

Please I need some help !
Thanks.

You need to share the printer on the network for it to print from a remote computer.

Assume you know how to do that ?

@mrapi:

Unless your printer has Windows drivers--in which case sending data to com1 will not make it print--you need to use a third-party serial port redirector to do what you want.

Free serial port redirector

Thanks for your answer,printer is conected to COM not to USB/LPT,basically it doesn't need a driver for that,data is send directly to COM

Hi,you are right that is what I need,serial port redirector,can somebody recommend a free one ?
Thanks!

Ah, sorry you are correct (I need to learn to read the original properly...LOL) - suggest you go with solidwave's suggestion and I see he has also given you a link to some free software, so hopefully you should be sorted....
