If my printer is returning error codes, and it very well could be because my NewViews program is from 1993 and my HP2200 is probably only 6 years old, I’m in for trouble. I seem to have learned far more than I wanted to know about net use, but not enough to get it to work. I don’t know if any of this helps – but there it is.

Using a driver that ignored the (Brother specific) warning might get around the problem – and it did. In this case he thought that the printer may have been returning an error concering the drum replacement warning. The rather fuzzy explanation I got from Brother was that the ‘network’ connection to the printer could/would be lost if during a print job the printer returned any kind of error code. – Had complete success with no hiccoughs for three weeks now – Did net use to redirect lpt1 to the HP’s share name

By the time I called the user they had a different suggestin from Brother – install an HP LaserJet driver and use it instead. I called Brother and a rep suggested that we reset the drum counter and ‘trick’ the printer into not displaying that message.
One point to note: The printer’s LED display was showing the message “Change drum soon” all the time. So, at this point we could reproduce the problem without even running NV. NET USE would connect, then a print job would cause a disconnect. You could go through this in circles over and over with the same result. – NET USE would show lpt1 to be ‘disconnected’ – DIR > LPT1 a 2nd time and we would get an error. – DIR > LPT1 would produce a printed page. – net use lpt1 \computernameprintername /persistent:yes and the command would complete succesfully. This time they could print one invoice or cheque, but the 2nd print job resulted in the error “Cannot write to file specified in /Print Options” (LPT1). Sure enough by 6:00 pm that night the client was on the phone with printing problems. (Too good to be true I’m thinking as I drive home.) I fixed up templates and all was fine – even after a total cold-boot of the computer and the printer. Here’s a horror story – with a happy outcome.Ī new client was having printing problems (XP, Brother Multi-Function printer, USB connection.) The problems all related to page length and lack of form-feed codes on templates – but printing itself was *not* the problem. I can open a batch file And the batch file prints out fine. I’ve tested the printer in DOS using the EDIT progam.
