Automated Printer Installation & Removal
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: psychonaut2000
We've been rolling out new network printers at several locations. I'd like to automate installation for users. So far I've found a nifty command line I can place in users' login scripts to add the new printers:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n\\Server\Printer
I've got a couple questions about this:
1. Will this install the printer for all users or only the logged in user?
2. We're going to pull the old printers once the new devices are installed. Is there a command line entry I can add before this one which will *remove* all installed printers?
I have one other, unrelated question:
If I write a batch file and I'd like there to be a pause between execution of one command and execution of the next how can I do this? For example, lets say I was making a batch file which would remove all installed printers, install all desired network printers, and restart the print spooler. Suppose I wanted a 30 second pause between removing the old printers and installing the new ones. How can I do this????
Thx in advance!!
