Adding NDPS Printer

Q.
Do you know of some sort of command line utility (from Windows 2000) to add an NDPS printer to a workstation? I have been experimenting with pnsetup from JRB. Or, better yet, do you know of a method to add NDPS printers to a workstation that is not ZEN'd?

Dear Paul: Unfortunately I am not aware of a command-line type interface to do what you are asking. However if you are using NetWare 6, there is a three-click method via the mini-portal: get IPP driver, select printer, add printer to Windows.
Fancy folks can decorate a local map with printers and by clicking on the icon it becomes available. Think of it as a treasure hunt, though Novell calls it maptool.html. I put together one for finding the nearest HP printer in Lhasa Tibet, which may not be the closest printer to you, but one never knows.
