I am trying to connect to a networked printer using a command line. Is this
possible? I DO NOT want it to connect to lpt1. I want it to connect to the
actually port that the printer server uses. We have our printers set up
using standard TCP/IP ports. Ex. (IP_192.168.1.10) That would be the port
for one of our printers. Can this be done?

Thanks,
Jasper

How to install a network printer on NT/W2K/XP for all users

You may have some options to install a network printer on NT/W2K/XP for
all users without repeat the same procedure one by one.
1. Create the first user and install the printer. Then copy the first
user's profile to default user so that every logon user after that will
have the same printer settings.
2. Use rundll32 utility. For example, the printer is located on
\\server1\printername, you can create a batch file including this line,
rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /ga /n \\server1\printername.
3. For NT, you can install the printer on LPT1 and map the network
printer to the LPT1.
