I tried that and it didn't work. I took it out of the bat file and tried it manually and I got this error...

------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------
C:\Documents and Settings>Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")


C:\Documents and Settings\>WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\AnotherComputer-27\HPLaserJ"
'WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.


C:\Documents and Settings\>_
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------


This is how my bat file looks like

------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------
net use Q: \\Server\Shared


Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\ AnotherComputer-27\HPLaserJ"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\ AnotherComputer-27\HPLaserJ"
Set WshNetwork = Nothing
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------



I am running Windows 2000 Server and all clients are Windows 2000 Pro.


Thanks

This should work:

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\YourPrintServer\PrinterName"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\YourPrintServer\PrinterName"
Set WshNetwork = Nothing

If you put that in a login script.

Has anyone wrote a script to connect a user to a shared printer on the
network when the log in? Is this possible?
