Windows 10: NET USE command TCP/IP printer

HiI have an DOS program which needs to print to network printer. The printer is:installed in my pc windows 11 and, is directly connected to the network and,has its own IP address and, set as default printer and shared. The printer is connected using TCP/IP and works fine when I print from any docx file. Since I'm not running a print server, the DOS program needs to print directly to this printer but I haven't been able to get any syntax combinations to create a NET USE to this new TCP/IP network printer. Your help is highly appreciated, thkxNad

Unable to enable Net BIOS over TCP/IP in PowerShell

Hi Eagle51,

When I try to change the value in the registry, it still shows as disabled.

I ran the commands you suggested and still no luck. However, should the value be changed from 0 to 1 in the last command?

Win 10 keeps changing my printer static IP port to WSD, already turned off windows printer management

Have seen this problem on a few machines. WSD takes over as the default port from a port based on a static IP. When someone prints there are no errors except the printer prints nothing. Best advice I have seen for manually added printers is:

Control Panel -> Device and Printers -> Add A Printer -> The Printer I want isn't listed -> Add a printer using a TCP/IP address... -> change "Device Type:" from default "AutoDetect" to "TCP/IP Device".

That key last step may prevent the dreaded WSD port being added as an available port. Enter the IP and continue the installation. I tried adding an existing printer twice, one with AutoDetect and one with TCP/IP Device. The AutoDetect install showed up
as WDS, and the TCP/IP install showed up with static IP in the port and no available WDS ports listed.

Hopefully that method works for most cases.
