Net use command help
Rename the print share to hp1. My guess would be there is a machine on the
LAN named HP. -- Was this helpful? Then click the Ratings button. Voting helps the web interface. http://www.microsoft.com/wn3/locales...eAPostAsAnswer Mark L. Ferguson ..

Even though you may not have a printer connected to your computer, you may have a printer port that has already claimed the "lpt1" designation. Try using lpt2 or lpt3. Also, I don't think you need the brackets around the device and there should be a space before the /persistant.
