Thank you for the prompt assistance. I don't think I succeeded in
deleting the printer mapping and the persistent connection however.

The server name is "otto". The old printer is "orwell". The new
computer is "bowwow". I apologise if the names seem puerile !

I entered "net use /persistent:no" and got the response "the command
completed successfully"

I entered "net use \\otto\orwell /d" and got the response "The
connection \\otto\orwell has been deleted"

I thought I was home and dry but when I entered
"net use lpt1: \\otto\bowwow" I got the response
"the local device has a remembered connection to another network resource"

It must be my fault but what am I doing wrong ?

Stuart
