sounds like LPT1 is getting remapped or had been mapped to \\server\share
make sure that it was not already mapped by using the net use command.
E:\>net use
New connections will not be remembered.
Status Local Remote Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK LPT1 \\server\printshare Microsoft Windows
Network
clear the mapping with net use.
net use lpt1: /d
