How Do I Redirect LPT1 Printer Port to 'LOCAL Printer' in Windows 7

I have previously redirected LPT1 Port to a 'Network Printer' as well as 'Print Server' with NO PROBLEMS.
However, I have NOT been able to redirect LPT1 Port to a 'LOCAL' PRINTER. I have already set up:
- new HP Laser Printer (tested, no problem printing in Windows)
- the printer is SHARED, shared name is "HPLaser" (tested by viewing Shared Printer Name and Computer Name in DOS)
- bat file as --> Net
use Lpt1 \\DkTop1\HPLaser /persistent:yes
(I checked to ensure the 'Computer
Name' and the 'Shared
Printer Name' are correct. Tested by running bat command, no
error message)
When printing in DOS and viewing "What's Printing" from Printer Icon,
- the DOS print job appears immediately as "spooling",
- then "printing" and "USB001" Port.
So, it appears to be printing from the DOS application, also
note NO ERRORS from DOS Program or Windows but it does NOT print.
The only difference between the 'Local Printer' setup and
the 'Print Server Printer' setup is,
the 'PRINT SERVER'
goes to an "IP Address w/Standard TCP/IP Port"
and the 'LOCAL PRINTER'
goes to "USB001 Virtual Printer for . . .".
IS THERE A PROBLEM in
SETTING UP THE 'LOCAL PRINTER'
with 'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port???
If so, how do I resolve? If not, please note what is the problem(s) and resolution(s). Thanks.

Hi,
you install the new printer, which port you choose to use? What do you mean by saying "'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port"
here?
As the printer is configured locally, there is no need to redirect the port to it.

If possible please take a try to delete the printers holding the Lpt1 port, then reconfigure the local printer following the instructions provided above.
Hope this may help

How can install acrobat 8 print in windows 8.1?

I have seen others that have been unable to print to PDF when using Acrobat 8 Standard and Windows 8.1. Is there a solution?

Do Acrobat and Distiller open? If so, open Acrobat and update it to the most recent version (if possible). For the print you will most likely find that the print driver does not install and also that AcroTray is not functional. If that is the case, install another color PS driver (either from Adobe or maybe one of the HP drivers).
Because AcroTray likely fails, you will have to print to file (so set the port in the driver to FILE). Then open the file in Distiller to get a PDF. I have not heard of anyone being successful with AA8 on Win8, but that does not mean you can't be successful. I can only make suggestions based on an educated guess. With AA7, I was able to follow the procedure above to get AA7 to work on both 32 and 64-bit versions of Win7. I am guessing you may also be able to do that on Win8.

How to recognize HP 130 printer on Windows 7?

Macbook Pro-retina does not see the saved folders by Windows 7.

Mac printing has nothing in common with Windows Printing. That they do not recognize each other's Printer setup data is not at all surprising.

How can I get firefox to open a local file on Windows 8.1via File:open?

I am trying to open a file from the desktop for viewing as a webpage. It is edited in MS Word. When I open the file it just shows the the text of the file, which is html code, it does not run the file as a webpage. How do I get the file to run as a webpage? Thank you.

Make sure that the file has the .html file extension.
That should be sufficient.
Windows hides some file extensions by default.
Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

How to do a Screen Print with Pro keyboard?

Hi everyone,
I have tried a multitude of button combination but I cannot figure out how to do a Screen Print in Windows XP...
I am using a Pro Keyboard from Apple which has black keys.
Can anyone help me please?
Rio.

Hi salmeryigit,
Thanks you for your response...Funny enogh...F14 was one key I had not tried and it worked!
Now I am wondering if there is a multiple Key combination that would permit me to Manually Crop only the Part on the Screen I that I need?
Ex: In OS X I use: Shift + Comand + 4 which works like a charm as it saves the pict file onto my desktop.
May I also ask you what document you consulted to get the first answer I asked?
I do appreciate your help.

Printing through Windows?

I have my printer hooked up to Time Capsule and can print from my Macbook to it no problem. I would like to print from Windows (on my Macbook through Fusion) to the same printer. How do I install that printer in Windows? Do I need to use Bonjour since the printer is already on my network? The printer does not show up in Windows at all right now.
Thanks much

I installed bonjour on Windows, and the bonjour printer wizard did the job.

Printing through Windows on Mac with printers set up on Time Capsule?

I have my printer hooked up to Time Capsule and can print from my Macbook to it no problem. I would like to print from Windows (on my Macbook through Fusion) to the same printer. How do I install that printer in Windows? Do I need to use Bonjour since the printer is already on my network? The printer does not show up in Windows at all right now.
Thanks much

I managed to work through this problem in 2 different installations.
In one case Bonjour did find the printer in the Bonjour Add Printer Wizard(an Epson CX-5000)
In the second case - a Brother MFC-6800 - the printer did not show up as a choice in the Bonjour Add Printer Wizard.
You might check that the drivers for the printer that is attached to the TC are installed on the Windows system.
In this case I know the Brother drivers were installed but they don't seem to support a remote print server set up. However, the Bonjour Add Printer Wizard offered 2 choices - a generic PCL and a generic PS printer. I chose the generic PS printer and that worked....
Printing with a print server - which is what we're talking about here - is something that some printers do better than others. In my experience some printers, particularly their Windows drivers, sort of do their own thing which isn't conducive to playing by the rules which is important with print servers.

How can i us the parallel port of the printer to control a frequenz-generator?

Hello all !
I like to control with LabVIEW 8 student-version, the Frequenz-generator gadget . For this challenge i like to us the parallel port of the printer. I need for data flow only 2 cable. The frequenz-generator gadget need two signal : Low and High.How can i us the parallel port of the printer to control a frequenz-generator gadget? I have us the VIs-Visa (Visa-Serial, write, Close ), but i dont no what command i have to write on the Visa-Write so that the Signal can be in the low or high position.
Thanks

Hi Jeanjac,
first, look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_port
to get the port numbering. also, be sure not to leave pin unconected, sometimes you might get an error message otherwise (i remember pin11 has to be always connected or so for windows...)
second, just run the test panel in MAX and write something to your device to check if it works.
then in LV, you have to decide to which pin is connected your instrument. in any case you have to address all 8 output pins together! this is a parallel...
if you prefere to use only one pin, then you can use the serial port, with just pin 2 and 3 connected. it would work easier for you, since you address only one bit.

How to do a PortForward/Port Proxy? Redirecting traffic from port 8080 to 80 on the SAME machine

We have a CFTV system running on Win2008R2 that listens on 4 sequential port numbers and the last port is the Web Browser Port number for management and viwing cameras
When we configure the port 8077 on the software, it opens 8077, 8078, 8079 and 8080 and works with no problem
But...
When we try to configure ports 77 (and therefore 77, 78, 79 and 80) thw applications hangs and seems like not be possible to configure to use port 80
I could confirm that, using NETSTAT and the main CFTV application open all required ports with no problem, but only works on ports with a different number from "80", wich is what i want, to make users more confortable, avoiding to type ":PORT_NUMBER"
after the URL, it will be more "ellegant" solution to use default port 80 for user´s connections
The question is: How to do a PortForward/Port Proxy? Redirecting traffic from port 8080 to 80 on the SAME machine?
May i Use NETSH? (based on Help, it can be used to do this, but on different machines, not the same one)
There is a RELIABLE application, running as a service, that can do the port forward/redirect?

Hi,
I’m sorry to tell you that we can’t redirect traffic from a port to another port on the same server itself. But we can do it with a router which is configured to portfoward.
By the way, according to your description, another program may use the port 80. Is there an IIS installed on the server? If it is necessary, you can consult your CFTV system vendor.
Hope this helps.

How do i configure the usb port on a draytek vigor 2820n router for use with my imac

i have an imac connected to the internet through a draytek vigor 2820n router. this router has a USB port with a HP Deskjet 5560 printer attached (for use as a network printer for other machines on the network). How do I configure this printer on the iMAC?

I checked on the HP web site. Your aswer is on the HP website under your printer type. Update your drivers and follow the instructions given by HP and the printer will work as you have it connected.

How to set up Canon printer via Netgear print server ps121 on new macbook

I have bought a new Macbook (OS10.4.8). The Apple store gives a good deal if you buy a Canon ip4300 with it but I am having problems figuring out how to set up the printer to work thru my Netgear print server on my Netgear network. Can anybody advise:
1. I know my print server is on port 192.168.1.5, but what kind of settings do I use, IPP or LPT or something else?
2. Why can I not find the driver for the ip4300, even though I have used the CD that came with the printer and run the install program and the printer DOES work when I plug it directly into the USB port. Why does the Macbook come with drivers already installed for only a few ancient BJ Canons and why won't it show me where the driver for the ip4300 is since it is obviously already on the machine?
I know Netgear treats its customers with contempt (Linksys even worse). But I would expect a little more simplicity from Canon and Apple. I know I am an orangutan but it still seems incredibly difficult, as if they have hidden the printer driver on the computer and as if Apple does not want you to install networked printers. Please don't tell me to RTFM, I have read the Canon manual, it tells you how to network with Windows, does not even mention Mac. Any advice appreciated.

Hi zoevancouver,
If you are not able to set up your Canon MP460 printer, take a look at the article below. There is a link to the Canon website and compatible printers. Since this particular model is not on the list, you may need to contact Canon for additional support.

How do I share my printer between my two Windows 7 systems?

Some users find that they have a non-networked printer that worked fine in a mixed Windows environment, but found their two Windows 7 printers (one host and one client) are not able to share the printer.
Windows 7 handles networking differently than previous versions of Windows.
The easiest way to get started with sharing printers between multiple Windows 7 computers is to setup a HomeGroup. A HomeGroup is a way to authorize different Windows 7 computers to talk to each other and share resources. Microsoft has a good article about HomeGroups that has links to various guides.
Once the HomeGroup is setup, the next step is to setup a host for the USB printer.
This article from Microsoft details how to enable file and printer sharing, sharing the printer, and the basic steps of adding the printer.
The first two sections are fine as they are, but I would like to expand on adding a shared printer to the other Windows 7 computers.
This process tends to have the greatest success with sharing printers in Windows 7. Most USB only printers do have a driver available in Windows.
1. Go to Start>Devices and Printers.
2. Click on Add a printer at the top.
3. While it is a networked printer, it is not the current network standard printer. Select Add a local printer.
4. Select Create a new port with a local port for type.
5. Enter \\<host computer name>\<printer name> without the < > symbols. The host computer name is the name of the computer that has the printer attached to it. If you do not know that name, go to the host computer and go to Start>Right-click Computer>Properties. The computer name will be listed here. The printer's share name was selected in a previous step in the Microsoft article.
6. Click Ok and the printer driver screen will appear. Click on Windows Update to ensure it is the most current list.
7. Select the printer model from that list.
8. Follow the rest of the prompts.
At the end of these steps, the printer should be shared from the host computer to the other Windows 7 computers.
Some important notes about this setup:
1. Only printing will be functional.
2. The host computer must be on for printing to work.
3. The host computer could enter standby or suspended mode. This will interrupt the shared printer on the other systems.
With these steps completed, the printer should be functional on the Windows 7 computers once again.

How do I change a printer's IP address, !again! :(

O Great, Knowledgeable and Kind printer gurus,
I'm in a similar situation to Peter Minter's old archived thread at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2188292?
... So I'm sorry to be the next confused person Sorry to be asking ask a question that has probably already been answered multiple times, in which case blush, and a pointer to the answer would be great.
I have a Linksys Ethernet switch into which I've plugged
1. RJ45 carrying signal to/from an Apple Airport Router's Ethernet LAN output plug (Router gets its input from my Cable Modem)
2. RJ45 carrying signal to/from Mac Mini
3. RJ45 carrying signal to/from Mac Al-PowerBook G4
4. RJ45 carrying signal to/from HP LaserJet 5M
1, 2, and 3 are networking just fine to one another and out to the Internet, and have been fine for months.
It's the LaserJet 5M that I've just gotten that I can't figure out how to configure so's I can print to it.
Via its test page output, the printer reports its current IP addr to be 0.0.0.0 , subnet mask NOT SPECIFIED, def gateway 0.0.0.0 , config by RARP/BOOTP
Via its network status panel, the mini reports:
IP: 10.0.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 10.0.1.1
Via its network status panel, the PowerBook G4 reports:
IP: 10.0.1.4
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 10.0.1.1
In slot 4 of the Linksys switch, I used to have an HP Print Server that made a network printer out of an old HP LaserWriter 4ML's parallel port. Damned if I remember how I changed the HP Print Server's IP addr., but I did somehow!
The newer HP LaserJet 5M has an RJ45 input so it's networkable directly, but I think I need to be able to reach into it (I think via Telnet from TERMINAL running in either of the two Macs) and change its IP addr to something in the local subnet. Maybe it "should" be 10.0.1.3.
However, try as I might, I cannot open a TELNET connection to 0.0.0.0 or any machine:
==============
DrDans-AL-PbG4:~ DrDan$ date
Sat Jul 29 09:52:43 EDT 2006
DrDans-AL-PbG4:~ DrDan$ telnet
telnet> open 0.0.0.0
Trying 0.0.0.0...
telnet: connect to address 0.0.0.0: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
telnet> open 10.0.1.2
Trying 10.0.1.2...
telnet: connect to address 10.0.1.2: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
telnet> open 10.0.1.1
Trying 10.0.1.1...
telnet: connect to address 10.0.1.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
telnet> quit
DrDans-AL-PbG4:~ DrDan$ date
Sat Jul 29 09:53:34 EDT 2006
DrDans-AL-PbG4:~ DrDan$
==============
So, from the AL-PbG4 (10.0.1.4) I can't OPEN connections to all the IP addresses I "should" be able to see. Hmm. I must be doing something wrong.
Even if I could contact the HP printer, how would I change its IP addr, and what should I change it to? 10.0.1.3 or maybe 10.0.1.200 ?
MacOSX 10.4.7, Printer Setup Utility Version 4.6(161.9)
Given that the HP printer's directly on the LAN thru the switch -- should I use "HP Jet Direct - Socket" protocol, or Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) or Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol? Simply baldly getting in there and assigning the addresses 10.0.1.3 or 10.0.1.200 on HP Jet Direct - Socket" protocol doesn't seem to produce a working queue. I also select Print Using HP LaserJet 5M. No soap.
Any hints? Should I d/l a better/higher functionality configuration tool from HP? I'm about Googled out on this, and what I think to be an exhaustive search in this HELP area doesn't give me the info I think I need. Wot am I doing wrong, pls? Any more info I can provide? Happy 2 do it. TIA for any cycles you can spare.

I appreciate the feedback VERY much, Kappy, and at the beginning of my most recent (and successful!) hacking session, I thought that you were helping me "fail forward" ... but it all turned out OK, thanx to you!
When I get the printout of the "MENU MAP" the HP MIO menu shows only
CFG NETWORK = NO
so with your welcome hint, I just found that if I go into the HP MIO menu and change NO to YES*, I can keep going... and I can even get to where I can change the TCP/IP addr!
As (I believe) befits an important setting area like CFG NETWORK, setting it to YES* holds only for ONE application. When you come back from READY status, HP MIO's CFG NETWORK is set back to NO.
But if I've just arrived and have set CFG NETWORK to YES* and keep going, I see choices like
NOVELL = OFF*/ON (I left that at OFF*, no Novell hereabouts)
DLC/LLC = OFF*/ON (not understanding what that is, I left it at OFF*)
TCP/IP = ON*/OFF (I can set it ON* and it will "stick" from entry-from-READY to future entry-from-READY -- like I've turned it ON and it stays on)
ETALK = ON/OFF*
Encouragingly next, I see
CONFIG TCP/IP = YES*/NO
BOOTP* = YES/NO*
Then I get to a place where I can enter
TCP BYTE 1 = 0*
and I can move that byte up until it reads
TCP BYTE 1 = 10*
and the same through the rest of the TCP BYTES:
TCP BYTE 2 = 0*
TCP BYTE 3 = 1*
TCP BYTE 4 = 3*
These settings persist from CONFIG TCP/IP to the next CONFIG TCP/IP session, so that's good...
Next in the menu options, I see
SM BYTE 1 = 0* which I assume means Subnet Mask, so I alter that to be the same as the other members of my LAN (correct me if these settings are wrong, please?)
SM BYTE 1 = 255*
SM BYTE 2 = 255*
SM BYTE 3 = 255*
SM BYTE 1 = 0*
These settings persist from CONFIG TCP/IP to the next CONFIG TCP/IP session, so that's also good...
Next the menu offers me
LG BYTE 1 = 0*
LG BYTE 2 = 0*
LG BYTE 3 = 0*
LG BYTE 4 = 0*
I have no idea whatever what LG means, so I didn't change that. Same for the next choice:
GW BYTE 1 = 0*
GW BYTE 2 = 0*
GW BYTE 3 = 0*
GW BYTE 4 = 0*
Finally, the CONFIG TCP/IP = YES* menu offers
TIMEOUT = 90*
and the possible values range from 0 through 3600. Having no idea whatever what this is, I left it alone.
When my printer's TCP/IP addr was set at 10.0.1.3 I could PING it successfully. When I changed its addr to 10.0.1.200 I could no longer PING 10.0.1.3, but could successfully PING 10.0.1.200 .
However, in neither case can I add a printer whose IP address is 10.0.1.200 or 10.0.1.3, whose queue-name I leave blank for the default queue, using IPP, and where I specify the HP Laserjet 5M device.
Sooooh close I wondered what my dain bramage was...
I next wondered whether it perchance had something to do with the LG or the GW 4-octet strings, which I could set to anything but which I've left 0.0.0.0 out of ignorance?
But then I got a brainstorm -- it seems as if what is built into this printer is like the JetDirect I used previously -- so when I changed from IPP to JetDirect SOCKET protocol, everything worked!
So a great big THANKS FOR THE CRUCIAL HINT!! goes to you, [B}Kappy!! :)
... might be nice to know what LG, GW, and TIMEOUT have to do with anything, but right now I'm a Happy Camper.
... and strangely enuf, the .PDF file I cite above has no occurrences of CFG, much less TCP. Foo upon all HP Documentation 'droids.

How to find out on wich port BI Publisher is running?

Hello,
I have the following situation: Windows XP, Oracle Database 10.2.0.3, APEX 3.0, Application Server 10.1.3.1 (Advanced, J2EE-Server and Web-Server) and Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.2.1 (Advanced, Setup-Type Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher).
The HTTP-Server and BI Publisher are running.
Now I want to configure APEX for PDF-printing. How I can find out the port on wich BI Publisher is running?
I need it for the attribut "Print Server Port" in APEX Instance settings.
Thanks and regards,
Susanne

Hi Susanne,
I think the default port for BI Publisher is 9704
There are a couple of things you can do to find the port that BI Publisher is running on. The easiest is to navigate Start -> All Programs -> Oracle - BIPHome1 -> BI Publisher Server.
This will bring up the homepage for BI Publisher in a web browser. The url for this page will contain the port for BI Publisher: http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver.
The other way is to open a dos prompt and type netstat -abThis will show you all ports and the applications running on them. BI Publisher will be one of the ones with java.exe running.
I hope this helps.

Cj
