Add network printer

[gumbald]

I am trying to create a web based interface in order that users can choose a printer and it can be installed. This is to be implemented in a school with many, many printers. However, I have the function:

<script language="VBScript" type="text/vbscript">
<!--'
Sub MapPrinter
Dim netPrinter, UNCpath
UNCpath = "\\casper\HPLaserJet4"
Set netPrinter = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
netPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection UNCpath
'-->
</script>

This produces the following when the page is accessed:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'MapPrinter'
/Printers/index.asp, line 25

Any thoughts?

This is not ASP. Active Server Pages run on the server... mapping a printer is definately a client-side activity.

The VBScript forum will probably yield better answers for you then the ASP forum.

Oh, and the syntax for a subroutine:[tt]
Sub Foo()
'do something
End Sub[/tt]
