mapping printer via logon script

[OLDMO]

Does anyone know the syntax to do this.

Would it be the same as doing it in the command prompt?

 

[tfg13]

The quickest and easiest script is:

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network&quot
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\PrintServer1\Xerox300"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\PrintServer1\Xerox300"

Just change the printserver name and the printer name.

Or,

net use LPTx \\computername\printer_share

 

[itsfisko]

Try this.

Best way is through a logon script/batch file.

Use rundll32

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /c(UNC path of print server) /n(UNC path of printer on print server)


FOR SYNTAX
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?

Some lead, some follow....I just Hope!

net use will work, but that only redirects a port, it doesn't actually install the printer. You can find a utilility called con2prt.exe on the resouce CD. This will install any network printer for you as long as the printer driver on the server is compatible with your desktop OS.
