I have a windows 7 connected a printer, I use other PC (in the same group)with Vista to connect this shared printer via COMMAND : net use lpt2 \\PCNAME\SHAREDPRINTERNAME /PERSISTENT:YES However: i get a error response: System error 64 has occurred The specified network is no longer available Any Ideas or suggestions will be appreciated

Why are you using net use? This was a popular solution back in the Windows 9x days when some applications required an LPT port to operate. However, that is no longer the case today. Why not just browse to the printer, right-click and connect?

our program using webpage with Java to print information. Java Applets cannot access remote printers

Hi, Firstly, I would like to check whether this shared printer could be found in Vista system? Whether only Java Applets could not access it? Regarding the printer sharing, you can refer to this article: Share a printer Hope this helps Vincent Wang TechNet Community Support
