kaotkbliss Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'm sure I'm missing something very simple here. If I right click on Windows Start Menu (in xp) and choose "explore" I can type in ftp://000.000.000.000 (ip address) and view the contents of that network printer's hard drive. I can also drag/drop files to that location and the printer will start printing the files. Most files I need printed are postscript files and we do not have software to open these files and print them productively. I was thinking I could use the filecopy command and use that ftp://ipaddress as the destination, but I get an @error of 0 I've looked through the help files and forum search, but most people aren't hooked up to multiple industrial printers over a network... Where should I start, what commands/functions should I look into? 010101000110100001101001011100110010000001101001011100110010000 001101101011110010010000001110011011010010110011100100001 My Android cat and mouse gamehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.KaosVisions.WhiskersNSqueek We're gonna need another Timmy!

TurionAltec Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 If you're just doing an FTP upload, try this FTP UDF: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=12473&st=240&p=727962 If it's a windows share, you ccan use the commandline NET use: http://ss64.com/nt/net_use.html Join a Printer Share NET USE [LPTx:] \\ComputerName\printer_share /PERSISTENT:YES Join a Printer Share - with a "long" share name NET USE [LPTx:] "\\ComputerName\printer_share" Disconnect from a share NET USE [driveletter:] /DELETE Don't know if filecopy accepts device names as arguments, might have to copy the file to the virtual lpt port using CMD's copy command.
