Yes, that's what I was thinking, too.

The "net use" command description indicated that asterisk was an
alternate method and it lets the system assign the next device name.

OK, I will, but it just occured to me that I would probably have to
install the driver for my Samsung laser printer on the laptop, too,
before I could use it as a remote printer, no? The fact that the driver
is installed on my desktop PC to which the printer is attached does not
substitute for installing it on the laptop as well, I think. Or am I
wrong?

I have not tried it but that, for sure, would require the printer driver
installation first. I'm kinda' hesitating installing non-authorized
software on my company laptop, so I might have to clear it with the IT
Dept. first.
