I am attempting to configure a new printer in a config file for Basis Pro 5. The existing printer is connected to the parallel port and is listed as such:

ALIAS LP LPT1 ""

The new printer, is actually the same printer, but is now connected via USB, so my question is how to I reference the USB port? Something like:

ALIAS LP2 USB ""

accept I realize this does not work. Any help would be appreciated.

I have enabled sharing for the printer in questions, and have tried the following with no success:

ALIAS LP2 //systemname/printer share name ""

I will try uses the port listed under the printer configurations and see how that goes:

ALIAS LP2 DOT4_001 ""
