I am trying to redirect USB printer to use it from DOS application. The 
system is connected to Novell. I made it shared in Windows and reidrected it 
to LPT3, but it doesnt print. Printer is Brother MFC 3360C

Hi,
If you can redirect printer output to file
try DOSPrinter http://www.geocities.com/dosprint/

Igor

The only way I know how is to share a printer in the network (Example:  I 
share my HPPSC235 in my desktop) and
after doing that, go to the DOS prompt or from a batch file

NET USE LPT1 \\HOME\HPPSC235 /PERSISTENT:YES

to cancel the above

NET USE LPT1 /DELETE

Note:  Windows Vista does not support this.  They claim Windows 7 will
