Re: Windows Printer

Net use does not display printers that are not on a Lpt port and mine are
USB. I thought that MS might have fixed that with the major revision to the
command line that is part of Net framework 2.0. Maybe it is in there
because it is not clear how to invoke the new .CMD when not using VS so
perhaps the old version is running. I'll just keep tugging and pull it out
of its hole eventually. If there is any interest I'll post the method when
and if I find it.
