hi,
how do i map a printer that is connected to a windows print server with shared name \\newvision_server\2nd_floor_printer
from DOS?
thanks

I assume you mean a command or cmd windows, rather than DOS...

net use x: \\computername\sharename

sorry i meant mapping the printer from DOS machine

yeeeaaaa.... totally different... Dont know if there is a way, you'd need a client for DOS and well, .... why in the world would you be running DOS?

do i install "client for DOS " on the DOS machine or on the Print server?

thats the thing, you'd need some sort of client, but I dont think one exists, I guess it may or you may be able to use lanman.... but its going to be a PITA... Sorry I cant help any more than that... tried google?
