Cool, It works!!
Now, what if a printer is already installed, wouldn't the
"WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\servername\printersharename""
line add Whateverprinter (copy 2), Whateverprinter (copy 3) etc. every
time they log on?
In short, I'm looking for a statement that in kix looks like the
following: "If ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\servername\printersharename") =
0".
I suck at vbs...
TIA.
