Add A Printer To A Printserver

[JuergenF]

Dear all,

we are migrationg from Novell Netware 6 Print-Services (NDPS) to a W2K3 PrintServer.

That is why we have to add a lot of Printers to that new Server.

Is there a script for AutoIt or a VB or other Script to do that job ?

Thanks for any hints

What about a script to add the needed TCP/IP Ports to the PrintServer ?

As far as I could see, that can't be done with the mentioned command

"rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "NORTH-US-SRTEST-TEST24-BOGUS" /f %windir%\inf\ntprint.inf /r "IP_157.57.50.98" /m "HP Laserjet 4000 Series PCL" /Z"

only works when the TCP/IP Port "IP_157.57.50.98" is already created on the server.

But how to do that ?

Has anyone any ideas ?

Thanks a lot
