LPTDD.SYS: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:50, 31 August 2023

This driver allows a DOS session to print to an LPT port that has been redirected (or captured) to a network printer.

DEVICE=x:\LPTOOL\LPTDD.SYS

Parameter:

-T:ss - Specifying the timeout value on send/receive (default 10 seconds). If using slow media (diskette), or when LPTool is used on a very busy system, increase this for reliable operation.
-P:n - Specifying the LPT port-address to use (default is 1 for using 0378). Use LPTDD.CMD to define the correct n.

The free LPTool is developed by Jan van Wijk available at https://www.dfsee.com/lptool.htm

TIP: Together with e.g. the great FileCommander/2 by Brian Havard create a user menu entry that sends the current directory to the connected Computer for an easy use.

Example:

S: Copy to Remote via parallel port
D:\TOOLS\LPTOOL\LPTOOL send
