NET USE command maps drives ok, fails for LPT1/2/3.
NET USE command maps drives ok, fails for LPT1/2/3: on Windows 7.
I receive a system error 85 when attempting NET USE LPT1: command from a command prompt run as administrator "The local device name is already in use." It isn't in use. The actual LPT ports do not exist on this windows machine. I am able to map drives with
the NET USE command, but not the printers. I am running Windows 7 professional, service pack 1, 32-bit.
