Net Use lpt1 not working?

[Guest talkinggoat]

I am trying to make a net use script to add a printer that is attached

to another computer.

 

net use lpt1: \\backleft\hplaserbw /persistent:yes

 

It says that the command completed successfully, and show up when I

type net use.

However, when I run the command, it doesn't show up in the printers/

faxes listing. I can add the printer manually, by right clicking on it

and selecting connect, but not with net use.
