Printers

I know this is off subject of this newsgroup, but i'm sure
it's a simple answer for a lot of you.

I'm finishing up a SBS Network, and I'm trying to map
printers to each user in the logon script. Each printer
hangs off a W2k box. After i install the printer, it is
listed in the directory also.

What is the syntax of the script that i need? I understand
that it is \\server\<printername>.....but is there suppose
to be something about a username and password or something?

I would also like it to make one printer the default.

Thanks, MIKE

You don't normally provide username and password for a printer connection,
you must make the shared printer accept the default user involved.

net use /?

This will show you the command options.

You can also use VBscript to work with printers, and call the VBscript from
your logon script.

Lastly, CON2PRT.exe is a reskit tool for similar stuff.
