Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objWSHNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

objWSHNet.AddPrinterConnection "LPT1", strPrinterPath, False, strUsername, strPassword

'objWSHNet.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\valinor\Xerox"

' Open Print device as a file using the File System Object
'
Set objPrinter = objFS.CreateTextFile("LPT1:", True)
'
' Send text to print device using the File System Object
'
objPrinter.Write(strMessage)
