The workgroup here has two words, rather than the single word like MSHOME . Is there a problem with it having an embedded space?

Yes it can have spacesYou can have Workgroup....
Workgroup name originally didn't allow for spaces.
When it comes to using the workgroup name from the command line, you will need to enclose it in quotes that there are no spaces.

Usually, this is something you can.
Could try doing a batch file with something like runas /user:workgroup\username "net use lpt1 with DHCP, it's best to use the host name of the printer when possible.
