jowen Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have inherited a generic login script for our users on site and I want to migrate their printers onto a new print server. In testing this I have added an existing q from the functional and current print server to the new print server and manually added the printer from the new print server all works fine. However I now want to push out the print mappings through the login script and it will not see my new printer or map to it. I have also created a manual VBS file to map to the new print server q and again it states printer not found. I think my syntax is correct but any help would be appreciated my script shows this;' ' Printers.vbs - Windows Logon Script.Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\pilgrims-two\colorICT."My printer is shared out as ColorICT and the server is pilgrims-two, any ideas??Many thanksJo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcemanND Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 If the code posted if your actual code, remove the period after the printer name.objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\pilgrims-two\colorICT."toobjNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\pilgrims-two\colorICT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
