Question : Printing to LPT2

After using the net use command to set lpt2: to my HP4200 network printer, I recieved "The command completed successfully.  I type net use, and it displays the status of OK.  I have a legancy program that prints from a DOS command and will ONLY print to lpt2.  I do not have an internal LPT2 port on my machine. I am logged in as an Administrator of my local machine, and also as a Domain Administrator on the Network. If I send a text file to it using a copy command, I recieve Access is denied.  If I send a print job using a print command, I recieve "unable to initialize device" error.  This had always worked in the past, I am not sure what has changed.  My workstation is a Windows XP Professional with server pack 2.  The following are the coomands and errors:

print /d:lpt2: c:\mike.txt
(error) unable to initialize device lpt2

copy c:\mike.txt lpt2:
(error) access is denied

Thanks for any assistance.......
Mike
