Problem mapping printers

Hi.

I've got samba (1.9.18p8) running on a linux box doing file and printer
sharing for a couple of labs running Win95. Everything works great unless a
student tries "Shut Down -> Close all programs and log on as a different
user" Even then, everything works except for the printer mapping. All login
scripts are set up as follows:

	NET USE H: /HOME
	NET USE O: \\ACADEMIC\APPS
	NET USE LPT1 \\WC18PS\LJ18A

When they run for the second time, the following error occurs during the
printer mapping:

	Device does not exist on the network.    reading device
	Abort, Retry, Fail?

The only thing that works at this point is to abort, and "Shut Down ->
Restart".

The LPT1 mapping is necessary because one class uses a DOS program, and it
must 
be done for the machine, not the user, because each lab has different
printers.

Has anyone run into this before? Any ideas?
