I am not an IT professional. I am an engineer that has been responsible for
the CADD systems here for years. In order to utilize the drivers provided by
our CADD software provider for our plotters, I use the Net Use DOS command to
direct virtual printer ports (LPT2, LPT3, LPT4...) to their respective
network addresses. The printer drivers that we use are editable and using
these generic names is easier than providing the entire path in each driver.
Anyway, on to my question. Let me preface by saying, I have asked our IT
professional and I get the deer in the headlight look and really feel as
though they don't have a clue (suprise, suprise.) One even asked what Net
Use did!! I digress. Is there a way in Vista to make these assignments from
the OS without going to the cmd shell? Here is an example of the command
line that I input:
net use lpt2 \\printserver\printer_name /persistent:yes.
The final question is, how do I do the above command from within Vista?
I'm just curious.
Thanks,
Benny
