Print Sharing Scripts

[Bankesy]

Hello

 

I was hoping somebody might have a good script I could use for print sharing.

 

The printer is attached to a machine running Windows Vista and needs to be accessed from another machine running Vista as well as 2 machines running XP.

 

My plan is to put the script in the start up folder for all users so anybody who logs on can see the printer.

 

Thankyou

Try this ....... you will need to share the printer out from the original PC.

 

Set net = WScript.CreateObject("wscript.network")

 

net.SetDefaultPrinter "\\pc\printer"

Hello

 

Can anybody suggest why the following print sharing script appears to not work with Vista but does work with XP and 7?

 

@ECHO OFF

ECHO Installing ...

%logonserver%\netlogon\adprintx /cd "\\\"

ECHO Finished...

EXIT

 

Thankyou
