[WIN98] Command net use on lpt1

Hello everyone,

I have a small problem redirecting my DOS prints to the LPT1 port.

I installed a network printer (with IP) on a Windows 98 machine, I shared it, so it's accessible over the local network, but when I try to redirect the port with the help of this command:

c:\>net use lpt1 \\computer name\printer share name /persistent:yes

it tells me that persistent:yes is an unknown command. I checked the printer properties, and I don't have the options for spooling (it should do this automatically) and the checkbox for DOS printing

How can I do this, please? Is there an error in my command?

Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Configuration: Windows 98

    Hello,

    \\Computer_Name\Share_Name
    Specify the name of the server and the shared resource. If Computer_Name contains spaces, use quotes around the full computer name, from \\ to the end of the name (for example,"\\Computer Name\Share_Name").The computer name can be between 1 and 15 characters. If \Share_Name is omitted, an attempt to connect to the ipc$ share will be made.

    Thank you, but there is no space in the PC name or the printer share, and it's Windows 98, so it's from another time ^^

    Here is the net use command for Win98, indeed the /persistent option did not exist.
