Hi,

I found a strange behavior in W2K.
I needed to connect to a network printer from a W2K server using a local user.
I opened a pipe to the print server using a domain user (net use \\print server\ipc$ /user:domain\username).
Then I was able to see all the printer server shares (net use \\print server).
But when I run the command 'con2prt.exe /c \\print server\printer name' I got a message telling me that it cannot connect to the printer.
HOWEVER the command is working after the printer drivers are installed on the machine!!!

I tried to connect to the printer first using a domain user (successfully of course) and then re-try again with the local user and it was working then...

Strange the con2prt error message doesn't talk about drivers in any way.

If somebody have an explanation...

Thanks.
