I have successfully mapped the LPT1 port to a network printer using the Net
Use command (persistent:yes) and it works great for me. My users, however,
don't have local administrative rights and it doesn't work for them. Is
there a way to map map that printer so that it's mapped for all users,
regardless of their local permissions, or is there a way to do this without
making them an administrator?

Thank you,
