Network Printer

[nitron]

Hy,

I know, there are a lot of posts for network Printers, but after searching an reading trough the Forum for nearly 2 Hours, I don't se any sense in looking any longer.

Maybe my english is not good enough to understand the solution and so i just over read it. For the Question seems firmly simple.

normally I woud use the Start -> Run command from windows to add a Printer located on a Printingserver simply by typing

\\server\Printer

For some reason this doesn't work with Autoit?! run("\\server\Printer") would have been to easy i gues?!

So, maybe some one can help me..

Using the "RUNDLL32", 'PRINTUI.DLL... Command, seems a lot to complicated way to ad a Network Printer!

Thanks in Advance

Searching the archive I get the impression that RUNDLL32 is the way to go. Here you can find readymade functions to include in your script.

Thanks for your help!

But Maybe someone got another helpfull Idea?

Why do you want an "easier" way? What can be easier then a set of working functions you download from the forum? Pack them together in an include file (UDF) and every script just has one line to include the UDF and a second to add a printer.

That's easy enough
