Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted January 10, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 10, 2013 Something like this should work (untested): $WMI = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & @ComputerName & "\root\cimv2") $aPrinters = $WMI.ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_Printer Where DeviceID = 'HP'") For $element in $aPrinters $element.RenamePrinter("ArtDepartmentPrinter") Next "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted January 15, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 15, 2013 You still haven't told us what "No worked" means. What error are you receiving when you run the code I supplies in post #7? "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.
