Printer Script in XP

Hello,

I am desperate here! Nobody seems to be able to help me, I am currently
running a printer startup script via a batch file off of a
Win2k server for Win2k clients, however when I attempt to run the startup
script for WinXP clients I am unsuccessfull. The batch I use is below:

Create a batch file (e.g. printers.bat) containing lines of the following
form (the PrintUIEntry bit is case-sensitive):

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\printserver\printer1
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\printserver\printer2
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\printserver\printer3

The script runs fine in Win2k, and appears to run for XP, however once
logged in the printers do not appear. Is there any reason the script will run
for
Win2k but not for XP?

Thanks in advance!

 

Suggest you try this command in a cmd window or just in the run window in XP:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?
It will present you with all the printer user interface protocols for XP. You may not want the space after the /n.

 

I am familiar with this command and have formulated my script based upon it, and have success with the script in Win2k, but it will not run in XP. I'm thinking it is some sort of permission issue.
