Adding Network Printers via DOS and Batch File

Adding Network Printers via DOS and Batch File

pretty easy this one.

if the network printer is shared, the command you need is:

start \\servername\printershare

this can be used in batch files as well.

note: if you use the unc path, dos will probably complain in a batch file that the UNC was used and not a mapped dive letter. If you are having troubles with this then just use a net use command to map the drive first.
