Ken,

I tried this command:
net use lpt1: "\\TALLEYRAND\Brother HL5250-DN duplex"
and the response was
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.

What am I doing wrong? I got the computer name from the
%COMPUTERNAME% environment variable, and the printer name from the
Printer Properties dialog. I don't imagine the names are case
sensitive, but I matched the case exactly anyway.

I tried this both with the printer not connected and with the printer
connected.
