Two things to check. First, make sure that LPT1 is not captured on the workstation that you are trying to set up remote printing on. At the command line, you can type:
CAPTURE /SH
to display your local ports and their usage. If LPT1 is captured, first do an endcap by typing:
CAPTURE L=1 /EC
at the command line. That will set the port to local mode. Then go into login scripts and try to find out where that port is getting captured.
The other thing to check is to make sure the workstation can print to its printer locally. Make sure you don't have LPT1 disabled in the BIOS, and try a test page to your local printer. If you can print locally, there should be no reason why remote printing won't work. Although if you are using the Microsoft client for NetWare Networks and the NDS service, you may want to install Novell's Client32 instead. I've seen NDS problems in the past with the Microsoft setup, including a bindery login to one server even though the Tree is clearly specified in the network properties.
Hope this helps (-:

Tank's for the answer, but I try with your procedure and nothing happens... I will try for a other side...
