Yeah, you can't do it that way. You have to map an LPT to the share first and then print to the LPT, which is explained in this[^].

Net use command works successfully but the same error occurs when i print using type filename > lpt1.

Does the machines have any physical LPT ports? Check in Device Manager and disable if there's is a port on LPT1.

Or try the same commands on LPT2.

It has no LPT port. It uses usb port.

USB is a bus, not a port.

The question still stands. Is there a device that is using the moniker "LPT1"?

How to resolve my problem?

Really? Did you just give up on using LPT2? Did you just give up on seeing if another device is using the moniker "LPT1"?

That's your ONLY course of action to solve this.

Thanks. I have completed the problem. I created a user and added printing rights to that user. It works fine.

Well that's interesting. I've never heard of users who are denied printing permissions.
