I have an old DOS program and need to network print between 2 machines. I am
printing from Vista to XP. I have tried using a NET USE command and it is
asking for a login and password for the XP machine and there is no password
set.

Anyone having any luck with this?
 
1) Use the Administrator account on the XP machine net use lpt1:
/u:XPmachine\administrator password
or
2) Add a user account to the XP machine
or
3) enabled the guest account

I have tried this. It still asks for the user name and password and when I
enter them I get a System Error 5 and Access is Denied.

Has anyone tried to do this?

This is a security issue not a printing issue. Be sure to setup the network
as a Home or Private network. If the network is public, this disables
network discovery.
