LPT1 or NE00 icon on desktop

by cosmo150 . Updated 25 years, 3 months ago

Intermittently, when I print by clicking on the printer icon in Outlook Express or IE (5)trough my LAN, I get outputted on my server/workstation or on the workstation desktop an icon called LPT1 or NE00 depending if i setup my printer through the server parallel port or the netport.
If I click on the LPT1 icon the system freezes. I need to reboot and use a del command in DOS to get read of the LPT1 0bytes file. The NE00 is more friendly and can be dragged and dropped in the trash and deleted from there.
I have performed all the basic troubleshooting with no success. I have also great difficulties in finding any reference to this particular problem.
Has anyone seen this before? Has anyone any suggestion on how to fix this problem?
HELP!!! This is driving me insane!
Thanks a million in advance for all the knowledge you can share!

Alberto
