    One possible solution is, if you have another machine and know all the user
    names and password on your local machine, you can enumerate the instances
    for the printers. The following is a sample.

    strComputer="MachineName"
    strUserName=".\UserName"
    strPassword="Password"
    Set Locator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
    Set objWMIService = Locator.ConnectServer(strComputer, "root\cimv2",
    strUserName, strPassword)

    Set colInstalledPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
        ("Select DeviceID, Caption, DriverName, ServerName, ShareName from
    Win32_Printer")
    For Each objPrinter in colInstalledPrinters
        Wscript.Echo "DeviceID: " & objPrinter.DeviceID
        Wscript.Echo "Caption: " & objPrinter.Caption
        Wscript.Echo "ServerName: " & objPrinter.ServerName
        Wscript.Echo "ShareName: " & objPrinter.ShareName
        Wscript.Echo "DriverName: " & objPrinter.DriverName
    Next
