I have a similar problem with alarm printing on a remote Epson LX-300 connected via ethernet using a D-Link parallel port printer server. On an XP installation everything seems to be properly working. The problem arises when I install everything on a Windows 7 (32 bit, Pro, SP1) environnement. I tried to replicate the XP situation, sharing the printer and connecting it to LPT1: (NET USE LPT1: \\PC1\Alarm_P1 /persistent:yes) but.... I can't find the printer when, in the "Print Job Properties - Printer setup" dialog, "Printer Priorities" combo box, I try to assign the LPT1: printer. The combo box stays sadly empty. Attached my screenshots. Why the combo box stays empty? What could I do to overcome this problem? Just let me add that every other program successfully prints on that printer, both via Windows (notepad and others) and via Dos (command like "ECHO hellp world > LPT1:"). The only failing program is WinCC that doesn't show the LPT1 in the drop down list. Thanks a lot.
