Specify Default Printer ( Urgent )

When utilizing DOS systems I have had the most luck mapping print devices back to the "OLD" LPT(1-9) ports...
If your terminals do not have a localy attached printer i recommend using the system default LPT1 otherwise review the example

'Map LPT- place in logon script or bat...
'net use lpt(1-9): \\ServerName\PrinterQ
net use lpt5: \\SuperServer\IS_Dept_Prt

'@ DOS Prompt on client...
print /d:LPT5 c:\autoexec.bat

Good Luck!

From a DOS prompt you can print to printer the following way:
copy "file name" > \\ServerName\PrinterShareName
or
dir > \\ServerName\PrinterShareName
Like that you don't have to map any lpt ports and you'll get the printer you want. You won't have to set any default printer.

You could use the Defptr.exe
to specify the default printer before you use the print command.

try this.

go to Microsoft then search for administrative downloads or do you have a link? Thanks
