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

M

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?

System error 1326 has occurred - Logon failure: unknown user name or bad
password.

[[Symptom: when using net use to map a network drive, you may receive
"System error 1326 has occurred. Logon failure: unknown user name or bad
password." message.

Resolutions: 1) create a user account on remote computer; 2) need to enable
the guest account; 3) make sure the remote computer doesn't use auto-logon
and blank password; 4) make sure you have a folder or drive shared on the
remote computer. 5) use net use \\servername /user:username command. Make
sure you type correct command (e.g. use net use \\servername \user:username
will get this error too) ]]

Thanks for reply.

The thing is that there are no multiple accounts on my machine. Just one
administrator, and I use no passwords.

Any other ideas?
