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

[Noah Eiger]

Ok. The problem appears to be that I was testing it on the machine that held the shares. I was under the (mistaken) impression that you could map a network printer on the machine that is sharing that printer – just as you can do with file shares. Guess not. When I tried it (finally) from a workstation, the original script ran correctly.   This process has led me to other questions: - So far, all of these printers have the default Windows drivers. What if I try to automate the install of a new printer or want to specify a different driver? - If the printer is already installed, the script appears to leave it alone. Is it actually leaving it alone or is it just writing over it? If someone has made a change to the printer under their profile, will that get wiped away?   Thanks again for all the help.   -- nme   From: Paul Wilkinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 1:42 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Help with _vbscript_ to map printers   Try multiPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server.abc.private\HP Color LaserJet 3500" etc. Rewrite it all out in a basic text editor like notepad to ensure you aren't getting some hidden character junk. Btw, I've confirmed in one of my login scripts that has the same line, and it works with  a printer share that has spaces.  No need for extra quotes.
