in a 50 WS network we changed a printer on 1 workstation from a HP LJ 1100 to a HP LJ 1000. we made sure sure all settings (share name etc.) stayed the same. the only difference is: it's not connected to LPT1: but to a USB port (USB001).

works fine, other WS can see it and print to it from Word etc.. However, we use SBT, MAGI and (in testing) a new mrp app which i am developing currently.

Neither SBT nor MAGI can print now to this printer. they use a "Net use" commant to direct the print job. the exact command in MAGI is:

NET USE LPT2 \\CREDIT02\CR /YES

which worked for the old printer (connected to LPT1:) just fine, but not for the new one (connected to USB), no error, no nothing, no nada, nix, zip.

in my new mrp app i use "set printer to name \\srvname\printername" which works just fine.

I am at a loss, anybody any ideas?
Thanks for all your help!
