To add a network printer, which the server is hosting as a printer
share, on workstations, I use a command like this:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /gd /c\\tiki /n\\myserver\emv-lj1320

The printer gets added to the remote computer, but it shows up as
"emv-lj1320". How can I automatically give it a friendly name as I add
it, or in a subsequent command? I've tried using the /m and /b
switches, but that doesn't seem to be the correct use of those
switches.

The whole purpose of doing this is so I don't have to go around to
each computer and add the printer manually, so anyone know how to do
this, preferably by remote means?

Thanks,
Dave
