Cannot match printer or port in control
file, how to capture in WinNT/2K
for the Reporting to the MAX
This error is almost always caused by failure to
properly capture a printer port for a networked printer
in Windows.
Win9x tree (95, 98, Me):
Go to Start, Settings, Printers. Right-click the printer
you wish to use from CMS, select Properties. Go to
the Details tab. Click the button that says Capture
Port, and select an unused LPT port (usually LPT2).
You will be asked what path to use, this is the path
to the printer in UNC format (\\hostname\devicename).
Make sure to check the box that says Reconnect at
Logon. If there are spaces in the host or device name,
Win9x WILL be able to capture the port successfully.
WinNT tree (NT, 2k):
Ports cannot be captured in printer properties. Open
a DOS prompt, and type this to capture printer hp1200
on a computer named food at LPT2:
net use lpt2: \\food\hp1200 /persistent:yes
The persistent flag tells the system to reconnect
to this resource at login. If there is a space in
the hostname or devicename, the UNC path will need
to be enclosed in double quotes, as in the case of
hp1200 on a computer named food bar, like this:
net use lpt2: "\\food bar\hp1200" /persistent:yes
