You need to put that in a .vbs file, not a .bat or .cmd file It's a vbscript. Just copy the exact text I sent. Paste it into Notepad, modify it to reflect the name of your print server and printer. Save it as printmapper.vbs and put it in the same location where you currently have your login scripts. Then, edit your login script. At the top, just after the "Echo off" line - if you have that - add the following line: call printmapper.vbs Save your loginscript file. Now run it. It should work. Sincerely,

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Printer Script
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
