What is the error from the system layer?

wrong server
net use lpt2 \\no_server\no_printer
System error 66 has occurred.

The network resource type is not correct.

LPT1 is already mapped
net use lpt1 \\printserver\printer
System error 85 has occurred.

The local device name is already in use.

Hi' there,

I'm using the above printer/fax/scanner connected to my own PC with a
USB cable. The printer is shared on my local network and this works
perfect. All computers on the network is running XP PRO. However when
trying to print from an old DOS application I can't get the printer to
work.

I'm using the old NET USE trick:

NET USE LPT3 \\ComputerName\CanonMP7 /PERSISTENT:YES

I can see that the redirection has worked (NET USE command), but the
printer just won't work. I've also tried redirecting to LPT1 and LPT2
but "no cigar" :-(

Any ideas?

Best Regards

Søren Horney
