Mapping printers with Net Use
I'm attempting to modify our existing login script (which uses Net Use to map network drives) to map the printers in our office. In using the command :net use LPTx: \\servername\printer /persistent:yespause (just to see if it completes sucessfully)The batch seems to run fine, I don't get an error, but the printer does not show up under Devices and Printers. Also, is there a way to use the command without assigning it an LPT port? There are quite a number of printers in the office.Any help would be appreciated, thanks! (and I did try searching, but my search terms: mapping printers, net use, etc - did not bring up anything, sorry if this is a repeat)

Hi, I think you can try to add the printer with GP Preferences. For more information, please refer to the following: GP Preferences: Add a new printer, set as default Meanwhile, if you would like to modify your logon script and you can go to our Scripting Forum for help. Thanks.Nicholas Li - MSFT
