Could not connect to the printer. You either entered a printer name that was incorrect or the specified printer is no longer connected to the server. Click Help for more information.

- Click Start, click Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
- Right-click License Logging Service, and then click Stop.
- After you stop the licensing service, attempt to connect to the printer again.
- If performing these steps corrects the problem, you may need to purchase additional licenses. To check the number of concurrent connections allowed, in Control Panel, double-click Licensing, and then click Number of concurrent connections.

The Windows Printer Mapping on Terminal Service cannot automatically map a printer if the printer is not locally attached to an LPT, COM, or USB port.
To map network printers for use in Windows 2000 Terminal Services and Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server, follow these steps:
- In the following script, replace PrinterDriver with the name of the driver you are adding and \\Server\Printer with the name of the shared printer and server:
Quote:
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
PrinterPath = "\\Server\Printer"
PrinterDriver = "PrinterDriver"
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath, PrinterDriver
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\Server\Printer"
- Save and execute the script in a Visual Basic (VBS) file.
NOTE: The parameter PrinterDriver must have the exact name of the driver as it appears in the left column of the Ntprint.inf file.
For example, if you want to install a Cannon Bubble-Jet BJ-230, then the line in the script should read PrinterDriver = "Canon Bubble-Jet BJ-230".
Excerpt from ntprint.inf:
Quote:
++++++++++++++++++
"Canon Bubble-Jet BJ-230" = CNBJ230.GPD, CanonCanon_Bubble-JeFF70,Canon_Bubble-Jet_BJ-230
NOTE: Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server does not have Windows Scripting Host by default. Windows Scripting Host must be installed first to execute the scripts.
You can use con2prt
con2prt / f ==> delete all printer connections
Connect or disconnect a Printer
All commands issued using this utility will affect only the user currently logged in. Con2prt is therefore ideal for managing NETWORK printer connections when used in a login script.
Syntax
CON2PRT /f
CON2PRT /c \\PrintServer\PrintShare
CON2PRT /cd \\PrintServer\PrintShare
Key
/f - remove all network printer connections
/c - connect to \\PrintServer\PrintShare
/cd - connect to and set PrintShare as the default printer
Several switches can be combined in one command line. So you can remove all connections before adding new ones all in one command, you can only specify one default printer.
For recent versions of Windows Microsoft now recommend the more flexible RUNDLL32 in preference to con2prt.
The freeware utility AdPrintX is very similar to Con2Prt but has additional functionality, including compatibility with Windows 9x systems. For bulk changes don't miss the Qchange.vbs script.
