Add printer. Connect to Printer. Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation failed with error 0x0000007e

So at work I was having trouble installing a printer on windows 7 64 bit OS...I decided to google it and found a solution.
A fairly simple 2 step process...

STEPS
1st install the printer locally, on lpt2
2nd at the dos prompt enter in this redirect command
net use LPT2 \\computername\sharedprintername /persistent:yes

A really easy fix, but got the printer installed and printing perfectly. Hopefully this will help anyone running into this issue as well.
