The goal is to install a network or USB printer via a dosbox on a remote computer. After searching the net i came across a lot of commands, none of them worked. So i tried the most simple command possible, retrieving the computer-printer connections by the following command: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ge /c\\d08w003 On my own computer that works, but on a remote computer (although i am a system admin) i get no results. I even tried the following: runas /user:administrator rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ge /c\\d08w003 administrator being a local admin profile on each computer in our network, but even now, no results. Since this doesn't work, i find it normal that installing an printer on an other computer won't work. So my question is, why don't i get any results? Is there a settings that allows this kind of connection ?

I would recommend to solve this problem in support forum here http://vogons.zetafleet.com/index.php?c=7 Regards Milos

Hi, /c switch need to be appended with computer name if the action to be performed is on a remote computer. Seems the computer name you want to connect to is named d08w003, please check whether the Printer Spool servcie is running on remote server and disable firewall. Juke Chou TechNet Community Support
