To summarize what we're trying to do here:

1. RDP redirects Windows print jobs from the server print queue to a remote printer
2. We're doing some tricks to get MS-DOS print jobs into the server's print queue, so they can be forwarded on to the remote workstation via RDP

First, can you check that a Windows print job initiated via RDP comes out properly on the remote printer?

Second, assuming RDP print job forwarding is working OK, have you made the printer installed on the server shared? What is its share name?

Third, was the NET USE command in the batch file example I gave successful? After you run the batch file, you can start up a CMD window, and type NET USE. It will show you a list of all current redirections - both drive letters and DOS ports. Check that LPT1 has been redirected properly to the shared printer on the server.

Come to think of it, could you tell us:

- what is the server name?
- what is the printer's share name on the server?
- can you paste in here the contents of the batch file you created?

This should be helpful in troubleshooting.
Regards. Al
