I have a DOS-based app with which I am having problems
printing. I am able to go to a dos prompt and type NET
USE \\servername\sharename LPT1 and use one of the
printers. But that printer is in another building and no
one wants to walk to the other building to get the
printouts. When I do a NET USE for the departmental
printer and then try to print, I get an Access is Denied
message. What is causing this?

How is the closer printer conncted to the network? Shared by another
computer or connected through a jetdirect? If a jetdirect, can you "ping"
the jetdirect's IP address?

It has a Jet Direct which I can ping.

I can also print to this printer from within Windows. It
is just the DOS-based app that is having a problem. And
it is happening for all users of this app.

For dos based apps use a dos based printer.
