- Connect to a network printer with a local user
- Posted by Bruno on January 28th, 2004
Hi,
I'm logging on a W2K server using a local user (SERVER\username).
I need to connect to a domain network printer using a logon script.
I tried to use the CON2PRT program but it cannot find the printer (as I am not logged in with a domain user).
However the CON2PRT program cannot connect to a network printer using another username like the 'net use' command.
I tried the runas command but we must provide a password interactively.
So the question is : how to connect to a domain network printer in a command line when logged in with a local user ?
Thanks.

Just FYI I always use rundll32 for logon scripts (rundll32 printui.dll,
PrintUIEntry /?) but I still think you will have a problem unless you either
run a net use \\youruser\print$ /USER:THEOTHERPERSON script prior to setting
up the printer or allow X user permission to the printer.
