Just wondering if it's possible to add multiple LAN printers to clients using a batch file? As you all know that it's not possible to do this using the Add Printer Wizard, as it only allows to add one printer at a time. It would be very handy to have just one batch file to add say 3 different printers. Any help, advice would be great. Thanks in advance.

You can use the add printer wizard to add 3 network printers. you just have to add them one at a time. So use the wizard 3 times.

You're right, you can't directly use 'Add Printer' to add them, but you can create a batch file that processes the exact commands that the 'Add Printer' feature does. Take a look at this link and it will give you what you need to put together a batch file to install multiple printers on your LAN. Have phun!!

But PRINTUI.DLL is a NT/2000/XP/2003 function and does not appear to be available on Win98....
