Problem with Net use

I Have a HP6P printer plug in the server on LPT1.The
workstation who needs to printe DOS job are using Net use
(net use \\server\hp6p). The problem is that the
workstations that works with Win98 are OK with Net use but
workstations with WinXP pro and Win2k pro are not able to
use this function. Before I change for Windows 2003 server
I was using Win2k pro on my server and everything was OK.
But i think the main problem is message i have when i do
this function --->

System error 1202 has occurred
The local device name has a remembered connection to
another network resource.

What is the meaning of this message and how can I fix
it....

I need Help.....

Thank

Type

net use <enter>

and see if LPT1 is already mapped elsewhere.

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.
