Is there a way through a registry change or script to change a local printer from online to offline? I'm not talking about setting a default printer, what I am referring to is when you have a local printer you can right click on it and select "use printer offline/online".

Gret question. I did some digging thinking this would make a nice script for me to write. Microsoft has already provided one within Windows XP. prncnfg.vbs.
There is also a DLL you can use called Prnadmin.dll that looks liek it would do what you want but you must install this DLL. Take a look at this link.
I hope you find this post helpful.

Mark
