Answer» I wonder if any one can tell me a way of installing a networked printer through DOS
thanksNET USE LPT1 \\SERVER01\PRINTER_1 /PERSISTENT:YES
LPT2 \\MY_PC\HP780C /PERSISTENT:YES
LPT3 \\OUR_PC\LEXMARKX /PERSISTENT:YES
PERSISTENT:YES is optionalwould this then SHOW the printer in the print setting in windows ?
cos i have tried it and this has'nt worked ?It should display the newly created printer as a network printer. Be aware that any firewall could block netbios browsing. Try connecting based on IP address.
example net use lpt1 \\192.168.0.2\lemarkx
{ I had to complete disable my firewll for this. Be wise and allow netbios browsing }
You could use an exported REGISTRY file and use DOS COMMANDS to silently insert the entry on the disred machine.
REGEDIT /S REGFILE.REG
Typicaly the exported registry keys would only be for the printer (default) etc
