Hello,
Like in NT environment, we can connect others
machines using the command like
net use x: \\hq3ne01p\c$ "pass-
word" /user:dps_dc\admin

I want to connect/add printer queues on the network(from the plot server) using command i mean without going to add printer option in printer.
what are those commands.
thanks

You can map a network printer to a parallel port using the following command:

net use lptn: \\servername\printername where n is the port you wish to map to, i.e. lpt1

You can try the following:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\servername\printername

You can also use the utility con2prt that is available in the Win2000 Resource Kit.

Good luck.

George
