Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	I too am having trouble mapping a printer to a 95 machine. I cannot find any information about the ADDPRINTERCONNECTION function. Does it work on 95? Must the drivers be pre-loaded on the machine? Any help here would be appreciated. thank you.

First, test it before pushing it out to users. select case ingroup("P1") use lpt1: "\\Server name\printer share name" /persistent case ingroup("P2") use lpt1: "\\Server name\printer share name" /persistent case ingroup("P3") use lpt1: "\\Server name\printer share name" /persistent case ingroup("accounting") USE LPT1 /DELETE USE LPT2 /DELETE USE LPT2 "\\Server name\printer share name" /persistent USE LPT3 "\\Server name\printer share name" /persistent endselect ------------------ BoxKite FACTA NON VERBA _________________________ Box FACTA NON VERBA

We do something like boxkite but for that script to work as it is all printers must use the same driver. With different models of printers you really need the printers pre-installed (or you need a special script to add them) & you must change the default printer to point at the model you are using. _________________________ Jack

Again, sorry to send you off course. quote: Originally posted by gonzale: Anybody knows how to map a shared printer in a 95 Machine?

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	ADDPRINTERCONNECTION will not work in 95 the reason it works in NT is when you install a printer in NT it uses the drivers off the server. In 95 though you have to load the drivers first. I still have not figured out a way to do this easily. If anyone knows I would appreciate some help
