Recommended Posts

I'm sharing my printer migration script now that its all polished up.

If you see any changes that would make it work better, please let me know.

Feel free to use this script, but please give credit.

edited 7/08/2009: updated code to fix a few things. Delete function doesnt work with win2k (added msgbox reminding user to delete manually.)

;This is a printer migration script for backing up/deleting/restoring network & local printers
;It its current form the "Printmig.exe" (Microsofts printer migration tool v3.1) and "printmngr.vbs (from an XP installation)
;are copied to a network share for the script to work from. This same share is also used to store the CAB files in a central location.
