Create a batch file with the cmd line:

net use lpt1: \\printer server\print share

Run the batch. Also works with ip. Hewissa

I didn't think you needed the colon after lpt1
Also, you have to make sure you have the drivers for that shared printer installed already. If it's a newer printer, Win2k might not have the drivers.

On windows 2000 and Windows XP, use this script:
&quot;rundll32 printui32, PrintUIEntry <option>&quot;, put the &quot;/?&quot; for more help after the command. The command is case sensitive.
