Network Printer

[markj2009]

Hi,

I am working to write my own script for automatically installing a network printer without all the "user" clicking and input. I got to a point where there was a "list box" of printers to choose from and I dont know how to script it for scrolling through that list and selecting it.

My second question would be when it comes time to manually put in the IP address of the network printer, how would I script that??

Thanks so much for anyone's help.

• Use WMI
• Query Win32_Printer Class
• read the attributes and look for all those with attribute 16 (Network Printers) {64 if u need local Printers}
• Populate them to an array and use it as source for your list box.

There is a possibility AddPrinterConnection Method may work (try it out)
