Listing all printers on a server from a PC

Hi,
Is there a way via vbscript from a PC to list all printers available for
connection on a print server ?

I would like to set up our user logon script so that new users automatically
get all printers mapped on their local server.....

Regards
Michael Green

This link should help:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr.../prclvb06.mspx

Assign the NetBIOS name of the server to the variable strComputer.

Re: Listing all printers on a server from a PC

Hi,
I'd already tried something similar. Unfortunately that code won't work for
a normal user - they get the message :
Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Permission denied: 'GetObject'

I'm assuming this is because the user has local admin on their PC but NOT on
the print server......
