i think this is pretty old but... capturing that printer to a LPT port
should take care of that for you... the capture option is under the printer
properties... one should not need to use the NET USE stuff to get it
functioning...

barring that, setting the printer as a network printer using file and
printer sharing should allow you to capture it that way and still be able
to redirect a LPT port to it...
