I am trying to map a network printer, from my 2000
professional laptop, that exists on my XP Home machine.
When I use the printer mapping wizard I receive an error
5, access denied.

I have tried the /USER parameter and still no luck. If I
use the net use command, mapping LPT1, from a prompt with
the /USER it works.

How can I get the wizard to work and use the newtork
printer option instead of having to map the LPT1 port??

Thanks for your help inadvance.
 
On your XPhome box create a user that has the same username and password
that you use on the 2000 machine.
