Printer Setup 1

[boab1965]

Hi All,

I'm getting a new HP1050c+ delivered on Tuesday. The print queue will be setup on our printer server to allow access for our users.

I have about 50 users that will use the plotter and they don't have rights to install a local printer. I don't fancy having to go round all the PC installing the printer connection as and admin users then getting them to install the printer connection.

Can I just amend the login script to add the printer using VBS and it will install all the files required?

Thanks

Robert

Add this is to your script.

Set Network = CreateObject("Wscript.Network") 

Network.AddwindowsPrinterConnection "\\server\HPPrinter"
Network.SetDefaultPrinter "\\server\HPPrinter"

Set Network = Nothing
  
'Quit the Script
wscript.quit
