> Subject: Win2K Pro / roaming profile quiz > From: "Lum, David" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 13:51:32 -0400 > > Scenario: 7 users with roaming profiles. AD domain. These 7 > users log into either of 2 PC's. > > Problem: Add a printer to one PC that all 7 users can use. > The printer is on LPT1 and therefore not available on the 2nd machine.
Then share the printer. The PC doing the sharing will effectively have an additional load of the print serving, but there's no such thing as a free lunch. > Solution: Can you do it w/out logging in under all 7 ID's??? Yup - do it in the login script - if you have DOS apps that need LPT port mapping, then map the printer so:- net use lpt1: \\<pc>\<printsharename> Or you could use WSH scripting, or something like Kix to map the printer - doesn't need to be mapped to an lpt port, unless you have apps that require it.
