This is the code. I got the basics from the API section here on the UT. The WNetConnection returns 1.

*************************************

DECLARE INTEGER WNetGetConnection IN WIN32API ;
STRING @ lpLocalName, ;
STRING @ lpRemoteName, ;
INTEGER @ lpnLength

*!* cLocalDevice = 'S:'
*!* cLocalDevice = 'HP LaserJet 4 Plus'

cLocalDevice = 'LPT1:'

cUNCBuffer = REPLICATE(CHR(0),261)
nLength = LEN(cUNCBuffer)


IF WNetGetConnection(cLocalDevice, @cUNCBuffer, @nLength) = 0
MessageBox('The UNC for '+ cLocalDevice + ' is ' + LEFT(cUNCBuffer,AT(CHR(0),cUNCBuffer)-1))
Else
MessageBox([Error] )
ENDIF
***************************************************

When I download you clsheap and netrsc, and run the getallshare I get the following:

Microsoft Windows Network Microsoft Windows Network CONTAINER ANY

Am I missing something?
