Command and Utility Summary

Sending a job to a printer queue usually requires connecting to the queue

with the net use command, and then submitting the print job through an

application. You can also send a job to a queue with net copy or the

MS-DOS copy command.

When you specify a computername (for example, \\SALES) with net print,

you get information about the shared printer queues on the server with the

computername you specify. You don’t have to make a connection to a queue

to get information about it. The display is similar to the following.
