DOS application printing in XP

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

If there is an LPT1: port on your system and you are attempting to
net use LPT1: \\server\printshare, this will fail for user accounts.

Users are no longer allowed to map to physical devices, (this is a security
change in XP), use LPT2: if there is not physical LPT2: port on the system.
If the software only recognizes LPT1: you will need to disable the LPT port
in the BIOS of the system.
