hi,

How can I assign network printers to ltp1 or ltp2.

Using Batch file I can use the USE command.
What do I need to do in order to use Kixtart.

Thanks

Hello and welcome to the board.

Please look in the KiXtart manual for the USE command and / or the SHELL

You should be able to natively do it in KiX, or if you want you can SHELL out and still use DOS programs as well.

Also look for and download the compiled help file for KiXtart from ScriptLogic

http://www.scriptlogic.com/kixtart

There is also a great FAQ section right here on the board that discusses many of the most commonly asked questions for KiXtart.

Best wishes.

Hi
Thank you for taking the time to help me.
Maybe you can explain to me the AddPrinterConnection I have try with the SetDefaultPrinter and it worked but with the AddPrinterConnection no luck. I read the instructions in the "Start to Finish Guid to Scripting with KiXstart" ( got it last night excellent reading). The Guide says (page 201 the second paragraph under "The AddPrinterConnection Function")
"If the print server is running Windows 2000 or higher, be sure the necssery drivers for the downlevel operating system are configured for the share"
What does it mean by "configured for the share"?
I wrote the scripte which was easy(copy from the guide and put my server name and printer) when I run the script I didn't get any error but no printer was add as well.

As to the Ltp1 and ltp2 thank you using your advice and the Guide I manage to worked it out, which means that 50 Accountant will leave me alone now so I can move on with my work learning Kixtart.

Thank you very much for your time
