I've been using DOSBOX SVN Daum to occasionally print to a network shared printer. Everything worked fine between my Windows 7 and Windows XP computers. They could each print to the others printer without any problems. Ever since replacing my XP machine with Windows 7 (now both machines are 7 64bit) I can no longer send prints to either machine. Swap back and everything works fine again. Here are my printer settings from .conf file and the error I am getting.

parallel1=file dev:\\randyw7-pc\P2035
parallel2=file dev:\\juliew7-pc\p2035

The share on the local machine always works but the networked one does not.

parallel 2: Failed to open \\juliew7-pc\p2035

The .conf file is opposite on the other computer with the same error except it is the other computer.

dir > lpt1 works on both machines since they point to the local shared printer. dir > lpt2 does not work.

Switching to Windows XP and Windows 7 and this setup will work every time. I can print through the windows printer to each machine without a problem. I'm guessing this is some sort of security block but I can't figure out for the life of me what is causing it. I've removed all network security and even tried running with elevated credentials and nothing seems to work.

Thanks for your help and insight.
