I posted this question on technet from Microsoft but got refered to this website/forum. The question is :

The goal is to install a network or USB printer via a dosbox on a remote computer.

After searching the net i came across a lot of commands, none of them worked. So i tried the most simple command possible, retrieving the computer-printer connections by the following command:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ge /c\\d08w003

On my own computer that works, but on a remote computer (although i am a system admin) i get no results.

I even tried the following: runas /user:administrator rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ge /c\\d08w003

administrator being a local admin profile on each computer in our network, but even now, no results.

Since this doesn't work, i find it normal that installing an printer on an other computer won't work.

So my question is, why don't i get any results? Is there a settings that allows this kind of connection ?

this has nothing to do with dosbox.
As the rundll32 command doesn't work inside dosbox.
The DOSBox of this forum is the one of www.dosbox.com. not the NTVDM you are talking about.

So you'd better head back the microsoft forum.

* closed as this is 100% unrelated to dosbox *
