If your username and password is accepted - press enter!

5. Your favorite printer will be installed.
6. If no printer Windows appears and you become an error message like: "We can't sign you in with this credential because your domain isn't available. Make sure your device is connected to your organization's network and try again."
Please reboot your PC, log on, and start the batch file again, thanks.
