create a print share

[Guest mcnews]

how can i create a local printer share?

i'd like to create a script or batch file that will create a sharename

for a local USB printer - without knowing the printer's name. i may

be using the same maike of label printer for each installation, but

may not.

You can use a VB Script to do either of the following:

- Create a printer share for each and every printer

that is installed on the PC, numbering your shares

one after the other; or

- Create a printer share for a specific printer whose name

you know.

 

Have a look here for the details:
