Often addressed. SOME of the solutions offered, depending on many things:


If your local USB printer is not a Windows-only one, and if you are using a recent Windows version (not 9x), you can try:

1) Share your local USB printer to the LAN
Map it to a LPT port with - NET USE LPT1 \\mypc\myprinter

2) Check either the USB or the LPT port into the printer's driver enable "Print Pooling"
Click to expand...

Yet another possible "solution" (ha!) for printing to WIN printers - that I think was not yet mentioned here... It's the POOLING option. Check the last few lines I've added under "Printing / USB" at

Applies under XP, and I've not yet checked if there's any equivalent under W98SE.
Click to expand...

Go to the printers folder that printer and enable Printer Pooling, then Ctrl-click the LPT1 port so both the USB and the lpt1 port are checked.
Click to expand...
