Hi Brian,

The 'net use' you mentioned does not work on my machine.
The syntax is a little bit confusing. LPT1: probably means
that the network-printer is seen as the local LPT1-printer-
device, even nothing is connected to the parallel-port (my
printer has a built-in JetDirect-Print-Server). The
command asks for an user-name and a password, but none of
my XP-accounts are accepted. Do you what kind of user-name
and passwords are expected here?
