Hello, I'm looking for a way to poll a list of printer names off of a print server. I was hoping to do that in a VBScript, if that's possible. If this isn't the forum to ask in then I'm sorry. Thanks!

Keith

Hey Keith!

Of course it is possible - use the same code as for local printers, but run it on server.

I am using this when I need to change settings on multiple printers.

If your admin workstation is windows xp, you can use command

wmic /node:your_server printer get name

if this command works, I can post vbscript for you...

Sweet, thanks so much! I can write the VBScript code around this. Again, thanks!
