Connecting Network printer

[Will2b]

Ok guys, I really do need your help her.

I am relatively new to AutoIt, say just a bit more than 24 hours.

But I spent quite a bit of hours last night and again today trying to find a means of connecting a network printer. I have browsed through several posts and online documentation. I thought I found the answer several times, but it turns out that none of them worked for me.

Can anyone provide some assistance, I really could use it.

I have mapping a network drive working fine, now I would like to put in wildcard fields so as to prompt for user input in terms of authentication.

Any assistance would help.

Thanks all.

Try this:

useprinter("\\servername\printshare")

func useprinter($uncpath)
    $serverAr = stringsplit($uncpath,"\")
    $server = $serverAr[3]
    
    if (ping($server)) then
        run(@comspec &' /c Rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n "' & $uncpath &'"',"",@SW_HIDE)
    endif
endfunc
