Haggis,
I had not tried the net use command method as this printer is not used
with any DOS programs, however, by using it I was able to get it to
work. Just a side note on the particular error I was getting, there
was no error code give with it such as the "error 66" you referenced
in you last message. The error given is exactly as I had shown in my
first message. When I was researching solution, ALL the references I
found showed the error 66 or other error codes with the "network
resource type....." But my error did not. None the less your
suggestion to use "net use" saved the day !!!!
Thanks again !!!!
