I don't think you get the problem.

We MUST make a "net use" connection. I explaned it above. But here again.

We work with a DOS-application (its called Exact) Wehn you want to print in this application, you cannot simple print to a network printer. DOS doesn't recognize that (I guess you know that) To simmulate DOS that there is a printer connected to his LPT1-port, you've got to make this "net use" connection. In the DOS-box you easaly type:

quote:
net use lpt1 \\msnsrv\hp500n

In this DOS application you tell it to print directly to LPT1. 'Cause you made this "net use" connection now he's able to print on a networkprinter.
When we leave this "net use" command away in ou rscript, the users wo'nt be able to print.
Thatswhy we do need this connection.

Hope you understand what I mean...
