In fact, I want to logon the the print server by using a domain account as a
window service so that everytime reboot the machine, the application can
print.

now, everytime after rebooting, i need to logon as a domain user to the
print server machine, and then my background application can then do the
printing. i have the limitation that even no one logs on to the computer,
the background application is still workable.

therefore, i want to change the manual work "running net use at command
line" to a windows service so that

1. can run even no one logs on
2. no need to afraid of forgetting logging on to the print server

thanks!
