This is the exact line from one of my scripts: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\fgoserv\hplj /r \\fgoserv\hplj /m "HP LaserJet 5000 Series PS " Use this command to get a help dialogue that will explain the options rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /? -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.

Just found a solution to that this morning.
Here is the script I've been testing, replace ServerName and PrinterName
'? VBScript.' Guy Thomas February 2004.
'? http://computerperformance.co.uk
'? Purpose of script to create a local printer
' ******************************
Dim net
Set net = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\ServerName\PrinterName"
It appears to work really well. I found this and several other useful
thing on this site

Hope that helps,

It can be this simple as well: RunDll32.EXE printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\host\printer RunDll32.EXE printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n \\host\printer ...the first line being "install printer" and the second "set default". ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 On Wed, 7 Jul 2004, Mark Maas wrote:> James Coggan wrote: > >> Is it possible to use some kind of netlogon script to add a printer? >> net use \\server\printert ?? >> > > I would suggest a complete solution that you can also use to add drives, set > registry settings. > > A way so you can do anything you wish in the future.
