fopen cannot open device name for network printer in windows xp

[The One]

Hi,
 
I've a c program that prints to network printer by
getting a filehandle from 
fopen("\\computer1\printer1", "wb").  That has always
worked on Windows 95, 98 & 2000.
 
When it's running under windows xp (sp1 or sp2), fopen
returns a NULL. Has any one had a similar problem?  Is
there a solution to this?
 
Thank you
