Printer Script

[rpanchal]

Hi All,

 

I currently have server 2008r2 running, I have a fe XP client machines who require a printer installing, I written the following script but the printer is not showing for the user?? am I missing anything???

 

 

On Error Resume Next

 

Dim Net

 

Set Net = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

 

Printer1 = "\\rum-ps-01\ASD"

 

Net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection Printer1

 

Net.SetDefaultPrinter Printer1

 

I have created a GPO and set the user logon script to the one above

Do you have the correct 32bit & 64bit driver installed on the print server?

Try assigning the above script to the machine startup scripts. I am assuming that printers are assigned by room

on the print server under print management all i have under enviroment is windows x64

I'm pretty sure this type of printer connection is a per user connection, so it'll have to run under a logon script.

The script looks right. If you take the On Error Resume Next line out does it through up an error code?

If you are deploying the printer to a 32bit windows xp client and the driver doesn't exist on the client or the server how do you expect it to install the driver?
