Ok, I hope no one addressed this already, but here is what we have been
using.

Con2prt.exe from the Resource Kit (any version):
Con2prt.exe /cd \\server\printshare

That is all you need. There are other switches with con2prt that you can
check out as well.

Again, I hope this helps and is not a repeat.

Try this vbs script:


Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\printserver\printer_mane"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\printserver\printer_name"

good luck
