I'm currently moving my Network printing to a Windows 2003 Server based print
server (called PR01). I've set up numerous shared printers on my server (set
up as local printers using a TCPIP port) and now want to setup the printers
on my client machines (mixture of XP and 2000).
I can successfully add a printer to a client machine by START, RUN and
typing \\PR01\PRINTERNAME (eg \\PR01\Holistics HP5 is one of my printers)
However, I want to automate the printer installs using "rundll32
printui.dll,PrintUIEntry" command. eg
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /n\\pr01\holistics hp5
When I try the command I get the error - Operation could not be completed.
Either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has
lost its connection to the server.
I know I'm typing the correct printername (as it works manually using START,
RUN)
Have I got the wrong syntax?? (Does it matter about spaces in the printername)
Thanks
