The net use is called a port capture statement. It does not install the
printer but simply intercepts of captures output that is directed to the
parallel port specified in the net use statement (the lptx) and redirects it
to the network printer.
This only works for output created at the command prompt, or old 16 bit
applications that print to the port directly.
32 bit Windows apps print to a printer driver, which is what you see in the
Printers system folder and what you see in the drop down list of available
printers in an apps Print dialog box. The Resource Kit command line program
for installing network printers is called con2prt.exe, found in the MS KB.
