Re: [ActiveDir] Help with VB script to map printers

[Paul Wilkinson]

I'd guess that you have path problem.  Try copying and pasting "\\server.abc.private\HP Color LaserJet 3500" , with the quotes, in your start-run box and see if it connects that printer.  If it doesn't work then you need to look at the ip name and share name, and double check security permissions.

Hi –

 

I am trying to modify a VBS found on the Internet to map multiple printers. This will be run for every user in an OU. I keep getting the following error for line 8: 8007007B - The filename, directory name or volume syntax is incorrect

 

I have played around with the syntax but think I am missing something very basic here. Any thoughts?

 

I got this from: http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/ezine/ezine16.htm#Example%203:%20Mapping%20Multiple%20Printers

Set multiPrinter = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

multiPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection UNCpath1

multiPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection UNCpath2
