If its an old program (DOS)...you may have to make sure your share is less than 12 characters. -----Original Message----- From: Eduardo Freitas [mailto:eduardofreitas@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 2:33 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Error trying to point lpt1 to \\server\printer Hi there guys... I have an old program that can only print to lpt1. Im trying to map lpt1 to an IP but I could not get that to work... After a while I decided to just have a computer with the drivers installed sharing the printer so I could map it using net use. I tried "net use lpt1: \\server\printer /persistent:yes" and it worked while I was logged in as admin but when I logged in as a regular user I noticed it was not set so I tried the command again. It asked me for a username and password, but when I typed in the admins login and password it told me error 5: access denied Anyone could help me out? Im pretty lost here! : ( Regards, Eduardo Freitas ********************************************************** To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm ********************************************************** To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm
