map lpt port to an ip address

[chimaan]

This is Windows XP connected to a network. I am trying to setup a printer but before that I would like to know how do we map a LPT port to a wireless network printer with a specific IP address? I have done this in past and as far as I remember it was done using “net use lpt2 \\servername\sharename /persistent:yes.” But this time I want to do this directly to the IP address.

Can anyone help please?

Hello chimaan, there are few requirements for doing the same. For example, if you have Lexmark or HP nic probably they wont work because the network card must support "Lan Man" style printing.You can find these stuffs in old Intel Print server Netport 10/100 like Epson.
