Capture Printer

Is there a way when using a login script written in vbscript to capture a
printer?

In a batch file I just use net use lpt1 .... command but I am not sure in
vbscript.

Thanks for any help you can give!!!

this quotation based on setup default printer for network group, but it is the same idea. quoted from www.chicagotech.net/print.htm

How to setup a default printer based on a network group
' Add a network printer if the computer is a member of the group.
' Make this printer the default.
If IsMember(objComputer, "information_system") Then
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\chicagotech\cc041hp4050"
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\chicagotech\cc041hp4050"
End If

Acualy I knew about this but what I wanted to do was capture lpt1 to a
certain printer. I did figure it out I used AddPrinterConnection.

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply!!!
