Net use lpt1: help required

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

Iam using Windows XP SP2

Im trying to write a batch file which uses the net use lpt1:
\\servername\printername command.

The command works fine under an administrator account, under a normal user i
am getting the following requests.

'The password is invalid for \\servername\printername
Enter the username for servername'

The printer itself has all the right permissions and the user can print too
it fine, wondering has anyone encountered this problem or if it is something
within XP.

thanks

I had the same problem as you described. What I did was leave out the lpt1 part of the statement.

My batch file looks like this and it works fine reqardless of priviledges.

copy filename.txt \\computername\printersharename
