We had a machine crash that printed to a local printer as well as network printers. We switched the machine with another identical one and did a fresh install of NT up to SP4. Setup up the local and network printers on it and they all worked. I then upgraded Internet Explorer from 4.0 to 5.01, and then the local printer did not work anymore. Instead, stuff sent to LPT1 (supposedly) printed out on a network printer. I uninstalled the 5.01 update and went back to the previous configuration, but this did not help. Everything looks good both on the printer setup and in the registry. Any ideas why stuff sent to LPT1 is being sent instead to the network?
