Printers in MFF

I would like to share a common problem we are facising in MFF with regards to the printer setup. There are basically two options to do the printer setup in MFF. Option 1: Attach the printer on LPT1. If we can't get the printer on LPT1 directly then, we can map an network printer on lpt1 using the following command. Go to CMD (Command prompt) and type the command net use lpt1 \\name of pc\shared name of the printer\ example if the pc name is Account1 and the shared name of the printer is HPLaserJ then the command should go like this. net user lpt1 \\account1\HPlaserJ\ If it is mapped to lpt1 then we can setup the printer from MFF to send the output to lpt1. Option 2: Attaching the printer on an user defined variable. For this task you need to to go my computer, properties, and define and environment variable and put the shared name of the printer with path there. And we have to point the prineter in MFF to print on this variable name. Example if you want to define an variable name with SUNP then , and the pc name is account1 and the shared name is HPlaserJ. The steps should be as follows: a) go to my computer property, advance tab and select environment variable and put SUNP in the variable name and the path \\account1\HPLaserJ\ in the value field. b) go to MFF and point the printer to $SUNP and c) restart your computer. Now whatever out is send on this SUNP it will be printered on the printer defined. Hope this will help us. Qutub | |
