Dear All,

I am using Windows XP professional and not connect to Domain. I would like
to run a command line "net use ....." everytime I turn on the PC to connect
to hardware network printer. Can anyone tell me how to set it on XP. Thanks.


Regards,

Daryl

If your printer is networked (IP based), why not just connect to it via a
TCP/IP connection? Instead of using a LPT or USB port, use a TCP/IP port.

I can't use TCP/IP port, because one of my program is DOS base program, so I
need to map the network drive using "net use LPT1 \\.....", so please
advise... Thanks.
