Printers Management UDF

Where can I find $iportnumber for already installed printers?

I am used to the IP and Name when installing but not designating a port# so not sure what values I should be using.

 

Also for both display config and enumerate printers using array display is there a way to have a header on the data so you know the name of the values you are looking at?

To get the port number, you can use this :

; #FUNCTION# ====================================================================================================================
; Name ..........: _EnumTCPIPPrinterPort
; Description ...: Enumerate all TCP/IP printer ports
; Syntax ........: _EnumTCPIPPrinterPort([$sPortName = ""])
; Parameters ....: $sPortName - Name of the port to retrieve informations.
;                  Defaut "" returns informations for all ports.
; Return values .: Success - Returns an array containing all informations :
;                      $array[0][0] = 1st Port name
;                      $array[0][1] = 1st Port Host Address
;                      $array[0][2] = 1st Port Host Number
;                      $array[X][0] = Xth Port name
;                      [ ... ]
;                  Failure - Returns 0 and sets @eror to non-zero
; ===============================================================================================================================
Func _EnumTCPIPPrinterPort($sPortName = "")
    Local $aResult[1][10], $filter, $i = 0
    Local $wbemFlagReturnImmediately = 0x10, $wbemFlagForwardOnly = 0x20

    If $sPortName <> "" Then $filter = " Where Name = '" & $sPortName & "'"

    Local $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
    If NOT IsObj($objWMIService) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)

    $colPorts = $objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort" & $filter, "WQL", $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly)
    If NOT IsObj($colPorts) Then SetError(2, 0, 0)
    For $oPort In $colPorts
        $i += 1
        Redim $aResult[ $i][3]
        $aResult[$i - 1][0] = $oPort.Name
        $aResult[$i - 1][1] = $oPort.HostAddress
        $aResult[$i - 1][2] = $oPort.PortNumber
    Next
    If $i = 0 Then Return 0
    Return $aResult
EndFunc

For the header of the displayed array, just use $sHeader in the _ArrayDisplay :

$aPrintersConfig = _EnumPrinterConfiguration()
_ArrayDisplay($aPrintersConfig, "_EnumPrinterConfiguration", "", 0, Default, "BitsPerPel|Caption|Collate|Color|Copies|Description|DeviceName|DisplayFlags|DisplayFrequency|DitherType|DriverVersion|Duplex|FormName|HorizontalResolution|ICMIntent|ICMMethod|LogPixels|MediaType|Name|Orientation|PaperLength|PaperSize|PaperWidth|PelsHeight|PelsWidth|PrintQuality|Scale|SettingID|SpecificationVersion|TTOption|VerticalResolution|XResolution|YResolution")

Thanks mLipok for the link on the wiki.

@Cyberonimo, I don't understand what you want (add local print server ???). If you want to add a local printer, just use_AddPrinter and specify a local port.

I am using the below example script and this is what error returns:

#Include <Array.au3>
$aPrinterList = _PrintMgr_EnumPrinter()
_ArrayDisplay($aPrinterList)
"C:\AutoIt\Include\PrintMgr.au3" (206) : ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:
$aRet[$iCount] = $oPrinter.Name
^ ERROR

@Kaimberex : I just updated my code, can you download the file again and retry ?

I was able to get it to work another way for now I will update to new version and let you know. 

 

I do however have a question about _PrintMgr_SetDefaultPrinter. This function only seems to work on a Local printer not a network installed printer.  I am trying to set the below printer as a default and it returns 0 when setting the printer as default. I can get it to return 1 on locally installed printers just not network printers. I have tried using the FQDN of the printer. I have also just tried the ShareName. Neither works.

There was an error in the WMI query, fixed now (please download the updated file)

Yes, you have to use the share name for remote shared printers (I added a remarks in the function header)

This still does not work. I have used the share name and the path to the network printer i.e \\Servername\Printer

Hi, i have been trying to get the _Printmgr_PrinterExists func to work but it couldn't get it to work, i took alook at the code and the only way i could get it to work is by adding this line into the function

$sPrinterName = StringReplace($sPrinterName, "\", "\\")

so now the function looks like this and this is how i can get it to work for me at least

Func _PrintMgr_RemovePrinter($sPrinterName)
    $sPrinterName = StringReplace($sPrinterName, "\", "\\")
    Local $oWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
    If NOT IsObj($oWMIService) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    Local $oPrinters =  $oWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Printer where DeviceID = '" & $sPrinterName & "'")
    If NOT IsObj($oPrinters) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)

    For $oPrinter in $oPrinters
        $oPrinter.Delete_()
    Next
    Return ( _Printmgr_PrinterExists($sPrinterName) ? 0 : 1)
EndFunc ; ==> _PrintMgr_RemovePrinter

hope this helps, or if i have messed something else up by doing this please let me know as i am an amateur and still have a very basic understanding.
