space in printer name

[Ian]

Hi,

I am trying to capture a printer port in windows xp. I am using the
command
NET USE LPT1: \\SERVER\EPSON COLOUR /PERSISTENT:YES
However, it doesn't like the space in the printer name, does anyone
know how to alter this command so that it can handle the space?

thanks in advance,
Ian

Ian,

> NET USE LPT1: \\SERVER\EPSON COLOUR /PERSISTENT:YES

simply "quote" it.

NET USE LPT1: "\\SERVER\EPSON COLOUR" /PERSISTENT:YES

Kind regards,

Or you can rename the printer so as to remove the space.
