NetUse for Printers

[jamiers]

Does anyone know of something that I can put into a Windows Server Login batch script that would allow me to map printers for my students?

I would like to do something like the netuse command I use to map drives. I can't seem to find the printer command for that?

I guess you could use something like this:

net use lpt1 serverprinter /persistent:yes

Personally, I'd use vbscript instead :)

Option Explicit

Dim netPrinter, UNCpath

UNCpath = "YourServerPrinterName"

Set netPrinter = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

netPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection UNCpath

I lifted that from some website. Couldn't be bothered typing it out.

You get the idea, I hope :)
