A Windows startup script can be used to map a network printer at logon. Here is an example of a simple script that maps a network printer using the "net use" command:
net use LPT1: \\printserver\printer /persistent:yes
This script maps the network printer located at "\printserver\printer" to the local LPT1 port, and the "/persistent:yes" flag ensures that the mapping will remain after a reboot.
You can also use the rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry command to map network printers at logon.
Here is an example of the command to map a network printer with IP address 192.168.1.100 and share name printer:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n\\192.168.1.100\printer
You can also use a batch file that contains the above commands, and then schedule it to run at startup using the Task Scheduler.
It is important to note that you need to have the necessary permissions to map the network printer and that the printer should be shared and available on the network.
