Mapping a networked printer

by nateh . Updated 23 years, 3 months ago

Hi all.

I just added a color laser printer to a Win2000 Server/Domain and is set as shared.

I added a line to the login script
“net use lpt1: \\server\printername”

The problem is that the printer does not show up in the client (all WinXP Pro machines). I can print using a DOS command “dir > lpt1:”, however, if I use the control panel to see all the printers, it does not show. So the user does not even know it is there.

Any ideas/suggestions how to do this?

Thanks

Nate
