Re: Mapping Networked Printers Using Command Prompt

There is only one shared printer on this workstation. and as i said earlier,
that syntax works, but printers and faxes does not show the printer.

Thanks

Dear All,

My name is Tristan and I am the IT Assistant for the company I work for. We
have currently just moved a printer to a new location and is being shared by
a computer. What i wish to do is create a batch program that the users are
able to simply run once and it maps the printer in windows so the users can
print to it if need be.

I have tried using Net Use, but i have had not much luck.
Can anyone help?

Tristan,

We'll try to help, but the more detail that you can provide about the problem
the better. What is "not much luck"?

basically the printer is connected to a computer called LCC. the share name
is DellAIO8 and i have entered the following into command prompt with the
following results:
net use \\lcc\DellAIO8 - this completes but in printers & Faxes the printer
is not
displayed
net use LTP1 \\lccDellAIO8 - This says it cannot find the resource.

is there any way to get the network printer mapped and for it to be
displayed in printers and faxes?

Well, "net use \\lcc\DellAIO8" is the right syntax. Are there any resources on
server LCC other than the printer? Do any others show up?

There are a lot of reasons why you might not see a resource in Printers and
Faxes (which is a subset of My Network Places). I wrote a structured problem
resolution article:

And since this may take a few discussions, you'd help both of us if you could
