Win98 printer share is perpetually offline after rebooting Vista

Here's the final version of the batch file. The Win98 computer is named Slickswintel, the Vista computer is gateway because I found that slicksgateway was too long and causing problems, and the printer is shared as hp812c. The local driver used is called HP DeskJet 812C". Here's a question, what is the "proper" way to stick things in the startup folder for all users under Vista Home Premium? I had a hard time finding the correct folder and it seems I was doing things the hard way and UAC went nuts asking me to confirm about 5 times. I miss the "start menu programs" option under Windows 98. I don't know why the paste-in didn't show up. It is only two lines. I'll try again. Sorry I took so long, I don't normally read my own posts. rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dl /n "hp812c" /c\\GATEWAY rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "HP812c" /c\\GATEWAY /f "%windir%\inf\ntprint.inf" /r "\\Slickswintel\hp812c" /m "HP DeskJet 812C" |
