The following VBScript code will connect a printer device without trying to use the LPT ports.
The printer device will be available from the printer dialog as a selectable device in any of the print dialogs in windows applications:
Set objWSHNetwork = CreateObject(“WScript.Network”) ‘create network objectstrConnectString = “\\server\printer”strResult = objWSHNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection(strConnectString)
Save it as a .VBS file and change the variable strConnectString to reflect your printer path
Set objNet = WScript.CreateObject(“WScript.Network”)objNet.MapNetworkDrive DriveLetter, “\\SERVER\SHARE“, TRUE
