ioliver Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I didn't know what category this fell into, so I thought I'd post it here. Does anyone have a script that will list current printer connections for a remote PC? Let me know if you need more info.

this-is-me Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Does "net view \\computername" do what you need? Who else would I be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioliver Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 No, 'net view \\computername' show what shares are available on a computer, not what shares the computer is connected to.

Holger Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 (edited) Do you mean normal printer-connections that has a user?Is the key:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Connectionsnot what you want?In the subkeys you find the printer-connections which you could readout with "RegEnumKey".

_itch Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 The code might be mickey mouse as I am just starting myself, but this will create a batch file on the user's desktop so that the user can re-install printers whenever they need to.. Hope this helps _ITCH $PRINTER_FILE = @UserProfileDir & "\desktop\" & @Username & "_printers.bat" FileDelete ( $PRINTER_FILE ) $PRINTER = "default blank entry" $I = 1 $READ_PRINTER = "test" FileDelete("c:\temp.txt") DO $READ_PRINTER = RegEnumKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Connections", $i) $TEMP_VAR = StringReplace($READ_PRINTER, ",", "\") IF $TEMP_VAR = "" THEN $TEMP_VAR = "CLS" ELSE FileWriteLine ($PRINTER_FILE, "Start " & $TEMP_VAR) FileWriteLine ("c:\temp.txt", $TEMP_VAR) $i = $i + 1 ENDIF Until $READ_PRINTER = "" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioliver Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 Thanks Holger,HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\ConnectionsI think that Reg Key is what I was looking for. Now I just need to have AutoIT read a Remote Registy.Thanks again,Ian "Blessed be the name of the Lord" - Job 1:21Check out Search IMF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioliver Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 Is the HKEY_CURRENT_USER Key available remotely? Ian "Blessed be the name of the Lord" - Job 1:21Check out Search IMF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Don't know, but HKEY_Users should be...maybe it's a little bit more complex to readout all this, but should be possible...

commenti Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Hi ioliver,I am wondering you did not find this with a formum search. I asked this question some days ago myself here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...wtopic=3913&hl=So you might find this interessting.Here are the functions I wrote after receiving the info:expandcollapse popup; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Function setdefaultprinter ; currently gives not feedback if function was successfull or not. ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Func setdefaultprinter ($PRINTERSHARE) RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /q /y /n " & '"' & $PRINTERSHARE & '"', "", @SW_HIDE) EndFunc ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Function delprinterconnection ; Deletes a printershare connection ; currently gives not feedback if function was successfull or not. ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Func delprinterconnection ($PRINTERSHARE) $printerconnectioncount = 0 while 1 $printerconnectioncount = $printerconnectioncount +1 $printerconnectionname= StringSplit ( RegEnumKey ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Connections",$printerconnectioncount), "," ); examine if exists. if (@error = 1) Then ExitLoop EndIf $printername = StringSplit ( $printershare, "\" ) if $printername[$printername[0]] = $printerconnectionname[$printerconnectionname[0]] Then;only delete printer connnection if it RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /q /dn /n " & '"' & $PRINTERSHARE & '"', "", @SW_HIDE);exist (this makes login script much faster) EndIf wend EndFunc ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Function delprinterconnection ; Connect to a printershare ; currently gives not feedback if function was successfull or not. ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Func addprinterconnection ($PRINTERSHARE) RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /q /in /n " & '"' & $PRINTERSHARE & '"', "", @SW_HIDE) EndFuncNote: Functions are tested only with german versions of Win2000 and WinXP.A function to list all connections, I don´t have at the moment, but it can easily be done, so if you don´t get a function for this scripted yourself, just ask again. commenti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
