mapping lpt1 not working

[fantacilli]

Dear everyone,

 

i have a problem with lpt1 mapping.

 

My environment is:

 

Server: Windows 2008 server sp2 with terminal server role

 

Client: windows xp pro sp3 with rdp 6.1

 

My problem:

 

On client i have mapped lpt1 with command net use lpt1 \\nameserver\printername, because on server i have a dos application that print only on lpt1.

 

When i connect the client to server through rdp and do a print the result is a white sheet with a few lines of text instead of sheet with a lot of lines. I tried to print from dos on server with the command dir > lpt1, but the result was the same. So what can i do?

 

If i map the lpt1 of the server (net use lpt1 \\nameserver\printername from the prompt of the server) the print is ok.
