Default Net use lpt1....error 85

Recently I switched all printing in the office to IP based printing. We
used the net use lpt1 command to direct legacy dos programs to print to
a particular printer. Since the switch the net use lpt1 command is not
responding. It gives me an error 85 and states that the device is
already in use. I've disabled the LPT port in the bios on my machine
and manually entered the Net use command in a command window ...with
the same error. The printers are run thru a Win2k pro box. I can copy a
test file to any printer by "copy file \\server\printer"

Thanks in advance

Dan
