Printers in VBScript

[gazzanewpy]

I am now looking at swapping all batch files for vbscript ones. I am very familiar with VB and have worked a little with VBScript but this should be treated as completely new.

I have a batch file using con2prt. It first removes all network printers from a computer (to stop any risk of the roaming profiles carrying a printer attachment around). It then adds the printers for that room onto that workstation during the time of the uer's login.

I know I can use the net.addwindowsprinterconnection and the net.setdefaultprinter. Yet, the RemovePrinterConnection requires the UNC whilst con2prt can have a global element (con2prt /f removes all network printers). I want to remove all network printers (not local) and then attach the required printers, setting one as default.

Any advice on removing the printers?

Try something like this:

Set Nw=CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set oP=Nw.EnumPrinterConnections
C=oP.Count
On Error Resume Next
Do While C>0
  Nw.RemovePrinterConnection oP.Item(C-1),True,True
  If Err.Number<>0 Then
    WScript.Echo Err.Description
  Else
    WScript.Echo oP.Item(C-1) & &quot; Removed&quot;
  End If
  C=C-2
Loop
