>When I do a NET USE LPT1 192.168.1.105_9100 at the DOS prompt, it returns an error: "System error 66 has occured. The network resource type is not correct." Is this connection possible, or does the printer have to be connected to the server or a workstation and then shared?
While I don't know exactly what is going on, the printer name starts to look as an IP address, but 192.168.1.105_9100 is not a valid IP address. Perhaps it is a combination of an IP address and a port; in which case, it would usually be written as 192.168.1.105:9100 (with a colon instead of an underscore).
