printing to LPT1: from POS application

[Guest Elvyn Gutierrez]

Hi. I have several users that connects to Win2k03 R2 TS server in order to

run a POS application. Most of this clients has a small POS printer attached

to them. I've installed a compatible print driver on the Terminal server. If

I print from lets say wordpad it prints ok, but If I try to print from the

application itself it does not. I understand the application in configured

to sent the print jobs to Lpt1:

 

Any ideas?

 

regards,

 

Elvyn

My old DOS application needs to print to LPT1. How can this be done?

Vera,

 

What I did was to share the printer at the client and then map port Lpt1: to

that printer at the TS server and it works. How is this different from the

way that you pointed out?

 

regards,

Re: printing to LPT1: from POS application

 

If you do it as administrator, then the same printer is available

to all users of the TS. I thought that you wanted several different

users each to be able to redirect their own LPT printer.
