Why is LPT1 port denied in Windows 7?
The printer itself has permissions assigned to it, so those permissions are most likely to blame. Post your “net usage” result from the CMD box. Windows 7 workstations are trying to redirect their LPT1 port to ////server//printer. The servers are 2008 R2 or 2012 R2.

How does remote desktop server know the LPT1 port?
The remote desktop server has an lpt1 mapping created via a login script with the following line. port lpt1 is set and I know it by running net use by itself. The client system is on a different network than the server. If I connect my computer to the rdp server with a different lpt printer it works and the job prints.
Is there a physical port for NET USE LPT?
In our case, there were actually physical ports enabled on LPT3 and LPT1, but not on LPT2, so LPT2 worked and the other two didn’t. Yes, disabling LPT1 caused the network usage command to complete successfully. Just another case of EM making changes to how things work without taking the real world into account.
Why is my printer redirected to LPT2 instead of LPT1?
The printer itself has permissions assigned to it, so those permissions are most likely to blame. I mentioned that the computer does not have an LPT1 port because if it does have a physical port, it must be changed to LPT2 for the redirection to work.
Can a win 7 machine use an LPT printer?
I have the same problem: Win 7 computer has lpt printer. XP machines can use it and the one with the printer attached can use it, but another Win 7 machine can’t. Using network works with lpt1, 2 and 3, but when trying to print I get the access denied message. When trying to create a port, ////IP address//hp receives the access denied message on all three assignments.
Why is my DB2 program redirecting to LPT1?
The purpose of the redirection is that we have a REALLY OLD DB2 program running on “Dos” and only printing to port LPT1. It is not modifiable in the software. Stale network usage tokens are a historical issue and it is recommended to have login scripts that remove the mapping and create it again.
