• # re: Adding a network printer through a VBS script

  Try these modifications. I think you will find it a LOT easier to use.
  
  Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
  
  
  
  'strFullPath = Inputbox("Please enter the full path of your network printer here:","Enter Path")
  'Use the above line if you have multiple print servers. Use the following 2 lines if you always
  'print from the same print server. Just type in your server name below and save before running.
  strPrintSrvrPath = "\\<yourservername>\"
  strPrinterName = Inputbox("Please enter the name of your network printer here:","Enter Printer Name")
  
  
  
  If strFullPath = "" Then
  strFullPath = strPrintSrvrPath & strPrinterName
  End If
  WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strFullPath
  Msgbox "Printer " & strFullPath & " Installed"

• # re: Adding a network printer through a VBS script

  Hmmm... well here we have quite a few different printers. Some located in this office, and others located in offices outside of this location. Being brand new to this company, I don't even know the names of the printers, and have no idea where they are located. What they've done is make it pretty simple, you physically locate the printer, which has the printer name posted above it. Then you just go back to the network folder and click on the appropriate file. Bam!
  
  What would be really useful (but doubt this will ever happen) is a map that would come up with your own office shown and the different printers shown as well. You would then select the printer(s) you wanted to install and go with it. For now though, the walk to, and double click method is working. It's a TON easier than what I've done at past companies.

• # re: Adding a network printer through a VBS script

  adding a network printer on a print server is easy using print UI thus:-
  rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /c\\pcname /n\\printservername\a3colorrm6
  rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /c\\pcname /n\\printservername\hplaser
  sc \\pcname stop spooler
  sc \\pcname start spooler
  
  but what about using a script to install an HP 6500 or 6800 network printer on 100 laptops when the printer has an IP address and no print server?
