I don't think that's totally true, Ron, I use the UNC path to the printer,
to set it as default.

I do agree, though, that there may be an issue with setdefaultprinter, if
the printer's true name is different from the share name.

Regardless, setdefaultprinter will return a return code (well, duh!) so
check that and it will tell you *why* it's not being mapped.
