delete printer script 1

[texasit]

is there a way to modify this bat command so that when its ran it prompts for which printer to uninstall instead of having to edit the script each time to reflect a different printer?

runas /u:\%computername%\anthony rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dl /n "printer_name" /c\\computer_name

I'm sure there is but this is a VBS forum, not a BATCH forum. Therefore,

set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")

strComputerName = objNetwork.ComputerName
strPrinter = inputBox ("Printer Name")
strCommand = "runas /u:" & strComputerName & "\Anthoy ""rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dl /n \""" & strPrinter & "\"" /c \\" & strComputerName & """"

objShell.Run strCommand

Thanks for the help again Geates, unfortunately my corporate environment has a mix of XP and windows 7. I will have to keep looking on a solution.

I was mistaken, it does run on Win7 (sort of) The windows 7 Runas.exe see the program name as "[red]rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dl /n / "printer_name"[/red]" as the program name with no arguments. XP's Runas.exe sees the program name as "[red]rundll32[/red]" with several arguments.

Good deal! I could only get it to work on my machine if I removed the argument quotes.
