You dont mention how the printers actually connected to the client.. \\clie=
nt\lpt1: is literally the parallel port, (unless something like "net use lp=
t1: \\server\printer1" has been run of course..!) so might want to expand o=
n that :)
As for the printer ports, try net use'ing "\\client\compname#\printername" =
(ie, \\client\laptop#\canon from your examples) - but again im not sure if =
you've tried that (you've missed off the \\ at the start in your message?)

Mighty scripting gurus,
I am trying to map a printer via a remote session. Just for grins, I
turned off all the drive/printer mappings in User Mgr for the account I am
using. To map a C: drive, "net use c: \\client\c$" works. I tried doing
the same for a printer using "net use lpt1: \\client\lpt1:". I get a
succesful msg, but nothing seems to print so I dide a net use lpt1: /d to
delete the mapping.
Just for grins, I opened up notepad and did a File,Print, Find Printer. I
was able to navigate to the printer on my laptop and map it as my default.
I found it under Client Network, Client.
Question: how can I script it (WMI or other)? I tried using without
success:
Set WshNetwork =3D CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\client\canon"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\client\canon"
I've replaced \\client\canon with client\laptop#\canon, \laptop\canon,
\latop#\canon, and a few others. None seem to work. I figure if I can
enumerate/browse it in a session, I should be able to script it. Problem
is that I am not a good scripter. Help please.
