We have a Windows 2000 server network with about 25 XP machines on it. We
also have a Novell server and some of us use this as well. Until now
everyone has been running 2000 Pro or XP SP1 as the client and has been
printing to 3 networked printers using either UNC share names or LPT
redirection for a DOS app.
I have had to rebuild my machine and I decided to try SP2 as I hadn't had
any problems with 3 previous stand alone machines. The one problem that I am
having is that after I have done a net use LPTx \\server\printer, the LPT
port appears to be redirected using a net use to check it, but if I try to
print anything to it, I get "Access is Denied". Even if I logon as the
network administrator, I get this error but nobody else is suffereing so I
can only presume that it is a SP2 issue or something.
Anybody else seen this problem and if so, what's the cure.
Hopefully thanks
Chris
