"net use lpt1 \\print_server\itprinter /persistent:yes"
into a batch file so when I run a DOS program LPT1 gets mapped to my printer. However, I keep getting:
"System error 1231 has occurred. The network location cannot be reached."
when I do this. When I try it with Start -> Run it works great. Is there some way I can get LPT1 mapped to my printer when the DOS window runs, or automatically whenever I login? I will always need it mapped this way.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: net use and system error 1231
Control Panel, Printers, righ click on "itprinter", property, detail tab, connect printer to port, choice lpt1 port, set \\print_server\itprinter and select reconnect at startup.
Because I haven't english version, some term or word may be slightly different.

Re: net use and system error 1231
Thanks for the response, but I can't duplicate your solution. First, I should mention I'm running XP Pro, so that could make a difference. Next, I can't select the printer share name "itprinter", only the printer itself, which is an OfficeJet 6110. When I right click Properties, the only tabs available are General, Sharing, Ports, Advanced, Color Management, and About. I've tried looking in all of them for "Reconnect at Startup" and I don't see that option anywhere. Thanks for any and all help you can provide, since if I can't get this to work reliably I can't keep this printer.

Re: net use and system error 1231
How to Assign a Logon Script to a Profile for a Local User:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315245&Product=winxp
Another way, assuming your PC is a stand alone PC, meaning is not connected to any server:
Start>run>type gpedit.msc>Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>System>Logon>Set run these programs at computer logon to enabled and add the batch file.
As far as the error 1231, check your event log and post the Event ID over here along with the source name.
Hope this help and please consider assigning points.

Re: net use and system error 1231
If it works only from Start>Run then it's probably a PATH issue.
Go to Start>Run>type cmd>then type path and hit Enter key.
Specify the full path in the batch file before the net command.
See if this will work!

Re: net use and system error 1231
When you open property you see "General, Sharing, Ports, Advanced, Color Management, and About". Select Ports (as I posted I have no got english version); now you can see a button like "connect", click on it; now you can see a little windows with 3 object: port to select (choice LPT1), remote shared printer (write \\print_server\itprinter) and connect on reboot (select it).
H.T.H.

Re: net use and system error 1231
It's not a PATH issue, since the NET command is in the path and works fine once I've executed it from Start->Run, and always answers up even when I get the error 1231.
Under the Ports tab I have Add, Delete, and Configre Port buttons. I suspect the button you're talking about is the "Congugure Port..." but when I try pushing it I get an error message.
So... I've decided to put my old printer back online (that has an LPT1 port) and give this one to someone else who doesn't need to run these old DOS programs. I've spent hours on this and don't have any more time top give it. If I buy another printer, I'll make sure it has an LPT1 port on it!
Once again, thanks for all the assistance.

SolutionFirst, have you ever heard of a hardware component already installed in Windows XP called "Microsoft Loopback Adapter"? That is the answer to all your problems.
If you have not already tried this, please email me or post back here, and I will give you step by step instructions on how to install. After you install this, everything should work properly. Please respond if you haven't done this already.
Thanks,
Kristin

Re: net use and system error 1231
It's been over 2 years ago, and I finally gave up and had to put the old printer back online and move the new one to another location that didn't need to run DOS windows. However, there's no telling how long the old printer will hold out and I'm still running the DOS programs that require this. I've heard of a loopback cable but never tried it out. If you have instructions on how to resolve this I'd still be interested in knowing. Thanks!
