We have an old QBasic program that we wrote years ago that wants to
print to LPT1. I wrote a batch file for everybody's machine that starts
up at boot-up and directs LPT1 to a certain printer. It has worked fine
until recently. On a couple of XP machines the dos box comes up and
asks for a password to the print server. The print server is nothing
more than a Win 95 machine with the printers shared out...not even
logged into the network. It still works OK on the Win2000 machines but
the XP machines are balking. I figure it's due to some XP patch. Any
ideas how to fix this?
