Well, first off, that first entry does NOT look like a printer;
it looks like a shared drive (though one should NEVER share C:;
another reason to partition). The command to map that printer on
your machine (assuming it's shared on Krumpet (which I assume is
your wife's machine? clever name) should be
net use lpt1 \\mywife'sPC\Canonpr /PERSISTENT:YES
substituting the appropriate names for "mywife'spc" and "Canonpr".
The command completed successfully.

"Lita" is the name of my computer. "Canonip1.2" is the name shown in the
Sharing tab of Properties.

There are tabs between the items. I have set the printer both by the
using the command SETP 1 and by navigating through Xy's menu that comes
up when you just enter SETP.
If your USB port is mapped to lpt2, each printer driver you're
testing must be associated with lpt2 in the PP table. So edit it
each time you try a different driver.
