Hello,
I need some help with a vbs login.
What i have to do is to configure the same printer two times with diferent
names.
And i need to configure the paper size and the printer tray. I dont know how
can i set this properties by script.

I use this script:
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
PrinterPath = "\\server\printer"
PrinterDriver = "Xerox DocuPrint N17"
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath, PrinterDriver
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\server\printer" "

Server 2000, Workstations W2000 and XP Pro.

thanks in advance.

Rama.
