I have a user who is running Windows NT 4.0 workstation.  He has an HP
LaserJet 4M attached to LPT1.  I can't seem to get anything to print on the
local printer.  Even logged on as an administrator I receive an error that
says "Error writing to LPT1. Access is denied"

I've checked the permissions for the printer.  It looks good.  I CAN print
when I boot up to a DOS prompt, so I know the computer and printer  are
communicating.  The problem seems to be with WINNT itself.  The same
workstation can print to any other printer on the network, but I can't seem
to work out the kinks with the local printer.

Can anyone help?
