Frank I just now got a way to answer you and will say the same thing. I use this:
IF vg_user = 'JMCCORD' THEN ZIP NET USE LPT1 \\Tuftco1\HP4050_PRINTROOM ENDIF We only want a particular user setup to this printer as you can see. I have found a flaw in this though. I havent figured out how to reset the printer back to LPT1 like I would in using the old capture command. I have attempted to use the NET USE /DELETE command, but I have not done a full blown test to see how it works. It looks as if it is the way to go. You can get more help at the 2000 dos prompt issueing a NET USE /help | MORE command Jim Limburg --- Betaserver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks Bernie, > I had tried everything, including giving the users > administrators > rights, but no luck.
