Selecting SysListView

[vmitchell85]

First off this is my first script and I have looked through the help as well as searched on the forums.

What I am trying to do is to create a script to install a network printer. I haven't had too many issues that I couldn't figure out but my current issue is selecting the driver to use. I need to select HP on the left list view and then the Laserjet 8150 on the right. I got the ID codes and everything but it wouldn't select. Here is my code, I can post screenshots if needed.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

; Open Run
Send("#r")
; Open Printers
WinWaitActive("Run")
Send("control printers")
Send("{ENTER}")
; Wait for Printer window
WinWaitActive("Printers and Faxes")
; Open Add Printer
Send("{ALTDOWN}")
Send("f")
Send("a")
Send("{ALTUP}")
; Wait for the window to open
WinWaitActive("Add Printer Wizard")
; Hit Next
Send("!n")
; Uncheck auto add
ControlCommand( "Add Printer Wizard", "&Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer", 4665, "UnCheck")
; Hit Next
Send("!n")
; Select Create New Port
ControlCommand( "Add Printer Wizard", "&Create a new port:", 4558, "Check")
; Select TCP/IP
ControlCommand( "Add Printer Wizard", "", 4557, "SelectString", 'Standard TCP/IP Port')
; Hit Next
Send("!n")
; Wait for the window to open
WinWaitActive("Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port Wizard")
; Hit Next
Send("!n")
; Enter IP Address 10.6.28.131
Send("10.6.28.131")
; Hit Next

; Hit Finish
Send("{ENTER}")
; Message to wait for printer lists to appear
MsgBox(16, "ATTENTION!", "Click OK when the printer lists have appeared!")
WinWaitActive("Add Printer Wizard")
; Navigate to SysListView ID 1580
Send("{TAB}")
Send("{TAB}")
; Select HP from list
ControlCommand( "Add Printer Wizard", "", 1580, "SelectString", 'HP')

First you can start the wizard directly...

; http://vb.mvps.org/tips/shellcpl.txt
run("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHHelpShortcuts_RunDLL AddPrinter")

Then I would switch from send() to controlsend() functions (use Au3Info.exe to find the correct values for the listviews).

Edit: And btw, system listview can only be accessed with the correct output arch, meaning you've got a 64bit windows, then you'll have to compile the script in 64bit and vice versa.
