| | Scripting network printer changes - problem We had a print server that went bad, and a new server was created with a new name. A script was created that is supposed to go through the printers on a machine and change them from the old server name to the new server name. We've tried using both WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections and objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Printer"). We've been having problems with the script, and have narrowed it down to the fact that both methods totally ignore the printer if the status is 'Unable to Connect' (which they are since the old print server is gone). Does anyone have a method we can use to change these printers? I need to be able to change a user's printer from using the old server to the new server automatically with a script. We can see the printers in 'Printers and Faxes', but cannot find a good way to get them changed from '\\oldserver\printer' to '\\newserver\printer' since we cannot find a method that will return these printers that I guess Windows sees as 'bad'. Thanks. |
