Re: Copying printer setups

sounds like LPT1 is getting remapped or had been mapped to \\server\share

make sure that it was not already mapped by using the net use command.


E:\>net use
New connections will not be remembered.


Status Local Remote Network

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK LPT1 \\server\printshare Microsoft Windows
Network



clear the mapping with net use.
net use lpt1: /d
