Bert Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Does anyone have a way of running a shortcut from a share that points to a printer on a print server? The Vollatran project My blog: http://www.vollysinterestingshit.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankjrfan Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 You can add a network printer from the command line. Google this command PRNMNGR. Here is one resource http://www.ss64.com/nt/prnmngr.html. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zithen Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 i do this all the time at work, saves a lot of time..also i am working on a printer script thing with autoit..maybe once "finished" i will actaully post it....heh this is the shortcut that i use on installing just another way of doing it, but little harder since you have to get the printer names out of the .inf files for the drivers. in the inf file you will se the name of the printer just have to grab the hole name and have to have quotes where they are i the shortcut. i knot this way is a little harder but i person have had a lot more success with it over the prnmngr.vbs file %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Printer Name" /f c:\location\of\inf.file /r "IP_0.0.0.0" /m "printer name from inf file" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
