You need a space between the port and UNC on the command line. -Aaron ----------------------- Aaron Dokey - MIS Reid Tool Supply 2265 Black Creek Rd.

Does any special protocols have to be loaded (besides tcp/ip) ? Netbeui or NetBios ? Actually there's another printer here - (which could be used) that has a ip address assigned. 192.168.2.23 is the printer ip - Name: HP2280 using port: 9100 (raw) I have tried - net use lpt1:\\192.168.2.23\HP2280 give me an error that it can not be found. I have also tried - net use lpt1:\\192.168.2.23\IP_192.168.2.23 with the same error above. When I ping 192.168.2.23 - I do get good results in return.
