net use

[CSCPCS]

I need to go in to net use from the command prompt, but I keep getting sytem
error 66 and the message "the network resource type is not correct". I have
put the command in the following format: net use lpt1
\\computername\devicename
I have also tried : net use lpt1: \\computername\devicename
and : net use lpt1: \\computername\devicename /persistent:y
What am I missing? What does the error mean?

Drop the : (colon) in the port name.
