Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000 don't let
nonadministrative users redirect the LPT1 port if this
port exists Physically on the computer (i.e., net use
lpt1 \\server\printer /yes). To work around this
restriction (e.g., for legacy applications that require
users to print to a redirected LPT1 port), you can
disable LPT1 in Device Manager so that users can redirect
LPT1. Perform the following steps:

Start Device Manager (go to Start, Programs,
Administrative Tools, Computer Management, and select
Device Manager).
Expand Ports (COM & LPT).
Right-click Printer Port (LPT1), then select Properties.
Under "Device usage," select "Do not use this device
(disable)."
Click OK.

If your application can use LPT2 instead that is a
simpler solution.
