Re: vbs to configure printer to remote machine

It worked! Now I'm trying to add printer, but no luck. Hope you can get me
through this last script.

cscript prnmngr.vbs -a -p "HP 4240 printer" -m "HP LaserJet 4240 PCL6" -r
IP_10.23.23.23

Unable to add printer HP4240 printer Error 0x80041001 Generic failure
Operation PutInstance
Provider Win32 Provider
Description The printer driver is unknown.
Win32 error code 1797

Also got this link to enable delegation
http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/Library/72612d01-622c-46b7-ab4a-69955d0687c81033.mspx?mfr=true
But just reading it, it compromises security since it is also for computer
account. Is there any other way for remote feature to work?

remove the \ in the -h parameter \PCL6\" to \PCL6"

I recommend simplifying the driver path.

md c:\hp4240
copy the files you want to install into this directory.

The issue here is you will need to enable delegation on your domain which
will allow the machine running the script to access the machine with the
driver file using the authentication of hptest.domain.com machine. This
is
called delegation and I don't run our domain here so in order to install
drivers on a remote machines, I have to copy the drivers locally to the
machine that will be installing the printer. If you are the domain admin
you can enable delegation in the domain but I have know idea how to do
this.

You also only need one \ for the directory name. two \\ just for the
server

Make sure you can install the driver on the local machine before
attempting
this on a remote. The remote path works since delegation is not required
for the local machine.

Yes, I had figured out yesterday I had to install driver first, use
prnmngr.vbs next to intall printer. However, I was not able to go
further.

cscript prndrvr.vbs -a -m "HP LaserJet 4240 PCL 6" -s
hptest.domain.com -h
"\\servername\\Install\\Printers\\HP4240_BW\\english\\Drivers\\Win32_2000_XP_S2003\\PCL6\\"
-i
"\\servername\\Install\\Printers\\HP4240_BW\\english\\Drivers\\Win32_2000_XP_S2003\\PCL6\\hpc4x50c.inf"
-u archi3 -w password

Message was: Unable to add printer driver HP LaserJet 4240 PCL 6 Win32
error
code 87

I found Error Code 87 meant an invalid parameter within the script and
that
the new printer drivers have different .inf format which do not work
with
WMI.

Pls. provide feedback. Thanks for your help with this!

Install the driver using prndrvr.vbs

I'll help you a bit more so you don't have to post again. Add the
port
using prnport.vbs

so
prnport.vbs Adds or configures a port

prndrvr.vbs Used to add signed drivers only. unsigned drivers cannot
be
installed using WMI provider.

prnmngr.vbs Creates and deletes printers

prncnfg.vbs configures the printer

prnqctl.vbs Pause, resume printers

prnjobs.vbs Pause, resume jobs

Thanks for the message. I figured out that I cannot add printer to
a
remote
machine using the command prncnfg.vbs. I had to use prnmngr.vbs
However,
I
am faced with another error message:

Unable to add printer HP printer Error 0x80041001 Generic failure
Operation PutInstance
Provider Win32 Provider
Description The printer driver is unknown.
Win32 error code 1797

Could anyone pls. advise - thanks!
