Ah, here we go with this again.  :]  If you want a link to ~map~ a
printer, you'll have to "link" to a client-side function that does the
mapping.

I suggest you open your news reader of choice, msimn.exe /outnews, for
example, setup a news account using msnews.microsoft.com, and post this
in microsoft.public.scripting.jscript.  Or, if you want to use
client-side vbscript, post to microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript.
Typically, client-side vbscript is not a good idea since only IE
supports it, but with what you're trying to do, it is unlikely it would
work in any non-IE browser anyway, since you'll have to rely on
controlling zone permissions via a policy or some other means in the IE
browser.
