Can’t get “NET USE” to work on shared printers

by paul.eggers . Updated 18 years ago

I am running a DOS app on a stand-alone WinXP PC. In order for the DOS app to see a shared printer, I have to “capture” it (back in the Win98 days) or use the “net use” command: net use lpt3 \\[servername]\[printersharename]
This works on every machine I have ever tried it on except for this one PC. It tells me that ‘net’ is not a proper command.
Any ideas?
