Getting Error 1326 when using "Net Use" - while trying to MS-DOS Print from WinXP

[M. B.]

A few days ago I wrote that I was having problems trying to print from
within a old MSDOS program while running it from Windows XP.

The problem was solved as my "Server Service" was set to Manual. Once I set
it to Automatic, everything worked for until my next system reboot.

Now, when I try the following command:

net use lpt1 \\violin1\brother /persistent:yes

("violin1" is the name of my machine and "brother" is the printer name)

I get the following error:

"System Error 1326 has occured. Logon failure: unknown username or bad
password."

On my machine, I dont have any users except for the general "Administrator"
account.

For the record, when I use

net view \\violin1

I see my printer listed there.

What am I mising now?

On the violin1 computer, make sure you've set up a username and a password
that *exactly* matches the one you're logging into this computer with.

Hi,

I dont have ANY password on this computer at all. That's why its so
puzzling!

My Windows XP SP2 just starts...
