I need to do the equivalent of a NET USE command to capture output to a printer port to a network printer.

I have been using Ed Rauh's APIRun class to issue a dos command to do this...which works fine on my 2000 box, but hangs on the win98 boxes, as the net command does not terminate...sits there in the 'Finished' state.

I know I can do this by setting up a PIF file on each worstation for the net.exe command, but there are a LOT of workstations.

Is there a cleaner way to capture the port? Barring that, is there a way I can make the dos windows exit witout going around to each machine and setting up that PIF?

TIA
