DOS printing

[Guest]

We have recently gotten new Windows XP SP2 systems. We have some old DOS
programs that are started by bat files. The first line in the bat files is:
net use lpt1: \\server\printername. On the XP Systems when the batch file
is run as a regular domain user we get the message:
The password is invalid for \\server\printername
Enter username for server:
Logged on as a user in the OU administrators group the connection is made &
the programs work & things print correctly.
I tried adding a user to the local Administrators group after reading other
posts here; no joy. I don't want to add all of my users to the OU admins
group..... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Could try sticking a /u:username on the end of the 'net use' command.
Replacing 'username' with the username of course.

We don't need to add a user name from Windows 2000 Pro workstations. Al
users are members of the same OU.
