The original message appears to have an error in it -- NET SHARE is needed to show the names of shared printers; NET VIEW just gives you the name of the server.
NET SHARE displays the sharenames of local devices; NET VIEW displays the sharenames of remote devices. A network printer is (usually) a "remote" device, i.e. not physically attached to your workstation but rather accessible through your LAN (router|hub) or the WAN (Wide Area Network = the Internet). I use U2's TYN (TYpe Network) command mostly nowadays with all my LAN printers. HELP TYN will give you barebones info -- be sure to set up two REG variables (IPaddress and PrinterHostName). Printer must understand PCL or PS. U2's TYP (TYpe Postscript) works when nothing else does. I have a vague recollection that I wrote (under duress) a standalone TYP for Xy3+, but really can't remember -- check the archives. [Later: For TYP for Xy3, start here: http://xywrite.org/msg00211.htm and follow the thread, then go here: http://xywrite.org/msg00252.htm and also read this thread too: http://xywrite.org/msg00256.htm All three of these root msgs contain Xy3+ files to DL. Maybe you can glean something pertinent to your situation from the discussions, so I'd rummage the archives for info -- we've been around and around this topic many times, but the whole thing is like shifting sand because there are so many different solutions. One thing is certain, though: if you're skilled, you can easily make one of them work]. ----------------------------- Robert Holmgren holmgren@xxxxxxxx -----------------------------
