Connect to Network printer via dos command

[Mojak]

How can I connect to a network printer via dos(batch) command?

Server: Win NT/Novell
Client: Win98
Application: Sun System 4.2

The problem is the connection to the network printer is being disconnected even when i set reconnect on logon. You have to re-capture the printer port to make it work again. I'm planning to write a batch file so that the user can just click on it. Or can you suggest any good idea.

Thanks!!

Probably, you'll have to create a pipe every time the win98 cliënt starts
You should put something like this in that batch file
net use \\server\ipc$ pppp /user:domain\username

where pppp is the password of the user having permissions for that printer (If the user log on with the rigth account and password you can leave the pppp /user:domain\username part

You could also try to put the PC to log on to the domain. In that case your connection with the printer would be persistent (truly)

I hope this helped you ?
