Thanx.

use the prn*.vbs scripts in system32

prnport.vbs will create the port (on XP you need to specify the port

non signed drivers)
prnmngr.vbs will add the printer

Is there any way to design a batch file (or something similar) that
will
automatically create printer ports and install network (IP-based)
printers
against said ports?

Let's say I have twenty printers connected to jetdirect print
servers...I
would like to be able to "programmatically" install the printers to a
workstation without user intervention.

Thanx.
