The originally proposed "/YES" parameter is short for "/PERSISTENT:YES" which means the setting lasts "forever" if the OS user issuing the command has the administrative permissions to so set the setting. Conversely there also are "/PERSISTENT:NO" and "/DELETE" options. From a command prompt (NT, 2000, XP), enter "net ?" or "net use ?".

you want to send the print stream to the given printer; however, it doesn't

stream will continue to be directed to that printer until it is changed by a
program or the machine is rebooted.
