printUIEntry; install printer to remote client machine

[Guest]

Hi,

I used the following reference link to add printer to a remote computer.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/314486

I got the message: Operation could not be completed. Either the printer
name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection
to the server."

Here are my lines:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /c\\HP323.ourdomain.com /m "HP
LaserJet 4240 PCL 6" /h "Intel" /v "Windows 2000 or XP" /f
S:\IS\Install\Printers\HP4240_BW\english\Drivers\Win32_2000_XP_S2003\PCL6\hpc4x50c.inf

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Test Printer"
/c\\HP323.ourdomain.com /f
S:\IS\Install\Printers\HP4240_BW\english\Drivers\Win32_2000_XP_S2003\PCL6\hpc4x50c.inf /r "IP_10.14.23.44" /m "HP LaserJet 4240 PCL 6"

This works if I were to take out /c\\computername, created TCP/IP port for
it, and installed on my local machine. What could I be missing?

Hope to hear from somebody. Any responses and/or suggestions would be
greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Did you try just using the NETBIOS name of the server instead of using
the CN?

printui needs to run in the user context when adding a connection for each
user. You can add a connection for the machine instead. Then each user
that logs on after creating this entry will get that connection.

I'm hoping I guessed what the issue was.
