Is it possible to "map" LPT1: to a network shared printer on startup...???? Is there a similar command in NT to dos "capture".....?????

thanks.........
 
best way is net use ltp1: \\server\printershare /persistent:no

There are other ways of doing this, and also if you are mapping to unix printers etc but this should work. You will also need to create a local printer on the persons PC who is mapping the printer, so the print job has somewhere to go to - once you print, it is redirected to the network mapping.

 
Thanks, I'll try it out.....!!!!
