1. LPT Network? |
|
|
I was looking for software to connect two Warp computers (one ver 3 with one ver 4). I was told of a 'lpt network' but they did not mention where to find it. Does anyone know about it?

| Check out this thread this should point you in the correct direction. But, be aware of that your printer has to has a network port or that you at least get a network interface to enable it to work via network. I'm using a D-Link 101 interface and it cost around $40. /Kim |

I have an USB printer. Does that count?

| There are hardware interface that would let you convert USB so it can be attached to a normal LPT port. It should work out if the "device" does NOT need any drivers or any other software to work out. I've installed at a friends place a converter from COM to USB and the deviced needed some software and by so only worked under Windows. I'll see if I can find any hardware that might work out, Also check Martin Iturbides USB page at http://www.os2world.com/usb/ /Kim |

My purpose was to copy programs from one computer to another via the parallel port and a laplink/parallel cable. It was not so I could use another printer. Thanks for the information.

| Aha, ok - follow you now. Well, try to check MPTS and check if there is any Parallel Port NIC-less adapter available. In WSFeB and MCP/ACP there is one available but I have not tried to set it up, so it would be fun to see if you could set it up and see how it works out. /Kim |

| Look at this page written by Greg Shah from 1998. http://www.goldencode.com/atlos2/tips/1998_01/0198tips.html It's excellent and I use it all the time when I have to check/configure my machines. It also contains a full description of how to use a laplink cable between 2 OS/2 (eCS) machines. I've backed up one machine with laplink cables once when the hdd started to generate CRC32 errors. It took me a while (xcopy, graham utils hpfs-ud, thinlaps installation helped a lot though) but I retrived almost everything before it broke down completely. So it's possible, cause I've done it.

I did download a copy of it and will also be trying it too as well as a couple of other ftp/parallel port programs.
