3.1.5 Printing From NetBIOS-supported DOS Workstation
NetBIOS workstations support the DOS-level Net commands for locating
and redirecting local ports to shared printers. These DOS-level commands
include net view and net use.
3.1.5.1 Net View
• net view: This command shows all devices within a workgroup
communicating on the network with the same networking protocol as
the client workstation.
• net view /workgroup:<wgname>: This command shows all devices
within the workgroup <wgname> communicating with the same
protocol as the workstation.
• net view \\FP042384: This command shows all the shared
resources on a Digi print server with hardware address
00:40:c8:04:23:84. Net view displays the following:
Shared resources at FP042384

PARALLEL2 Print parallel-port #2 (OFF-LINE)
SERIAL1 Print serial-port #1 (ON-LINE)
SERIAL2 Print serial-port #2 (ON-LINE)

FP042384 and share names PARALLEL1, are user configurable from the
FastManage or NBMON tool (both described in the chapter 6).
3.1.5.2 Net Use
• NET USE LPT1: \\FP042384\SERIAL1—This redirects printing
from the LPT1 port to the serial 1 port on FastPort.
• NET USE LPT1: /D—This deletes the redirect (that is, stops the
redirection to FastPort).
